* Fix a bug where mutex contention in database environments configured for
hybrid mutex support could result in performance degradation.
* Fix a bug where closing a database handle after aborting a transaction
which included a failed open of that database handle could result in
application failure.
* Fix multiple MVCC bugs including a race which could result in incorrect
data being returned to the application.
* Fix a bug where a database store into a Hash database could self-deadlock
in a database environment configured for the Berkeley DB Concurrent Data
Store product and with a free-threaded DB_ENV or DB handle.
* Fix an installation bug where Berkeley DB's PHP header file was not installed
in the correct place.
Multi-Version Concurrency Control (MVCC)
improves performance of highly concurrent, mixed read/write systems
by giving each user their own snapshot of the database and managing
concurrent changes by many users
Non-stop Upgrades
enables a replicated Oracle Berkeley DB system to be upgraded
without downtime. For customers that must maintain 99.999 percent
system uptime, this allows them to upgrade the Oracle Berkeley DB
database without taking down the entire system
Replication Framework
provides a pre-built and supported set of functions for quickly
building replicated or highly available systems, simplifying and
accelerating their development effort
3. Fix a bug where cursor lookups on secondary databases with off-page
duplicates could fail. [#14240]
4. Fix a bug where cache buffer retrieval could race with a checkpoint call,
potentially causing database environment recovery to fail. [#14657]
and add a new helper target and script, "show-buildlink3", that outputs
a listing of the buildlink3.mk files included as well as the depth at
which they are included.
For example, "make show-buildlink3" in fonts/Xft2 displays:
zlib
fontconfig
iconv
zlib
freetype2
expat
freetype2
Xrender
renderproto
RECOMMENDED is removed. It becomes ABI_DEPENDS.
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED.foo becomes BUILDLINK_ABI_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.foo becomes BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS does not change.
IGNORE_RECOMMENDED (which defaulted to "no") becomes USE_ABI_DEPENDS
which defaults to "yes".
Added to obsolete.mk checking for IGNORE_RECOMMENDED.
I did not manually go through and fix any aesthetic tab/spacing issues.
I have tested the above patch on DragonFly building and packaging
subversion and pkglint and their many dependencies.
I have also tested USE_ABI_DEPENDS=no on my NetBSD workstation (where I
have used IGNORE_RECOMMENDED for a long time). I have been an active user
of IGNORE_RECOMMENDED since it was available.
As suggested, I removed the documentation sentences suggesting bumping for
"security" issues.
As discussed on tech-pkg.
I will commit to revbump, pkglint, pkg_install, createbuildlink separately.
Note that if you use wip, it will fail! I will commit to pkgsrc-wip
later (within day).
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
Changes since Berkeley DB 4.4.16:
1. Add support for Visual Studio 2005. [#13521]
2. Fix a bug with in-memory transaction logs when files wrapped
around the buffer. [#13589]
3. Fix a bug where we needed to close replication's open files during
replication initialization. [#13623]
4. Fix a bug which could leave locks in the environment if database
compaction was run in a transactional environment on a non-transactional
database. This might have also have triggered deadlocks if the database
was opened transactionally. [#13680]
5. Fix a bug where setting the DB_REGISTER flag could result in
unnecessarily running recovery, or corruption of the registry file on
Windows systems. [#13789]
6. Fix a bug in Database.compact that could cause JVM crashes or
NullPointerException. [#13791]
7. Fix a bug that would cause a trap if an environment was opened
specifying DB_REGISTER and the environment directory could not be found.
[#13793]
8. Fix a buffer overflow bug when displaying process and thread IDs
in the Berkeley DB statistics output. [#13796]
9. Fix a bug where if there is insufficient memory for a database key
in a DBT configured to return a key value into user-specified memory, the
cursor is moved forward to the next entry in the database, which can cause
applications to skip key/data pairs. [#13815]
10. Fix a bug that could cause the loss of an update to a QUEUE database
in a hot backup. [#13823]
11. Fix a bug where retrieval from a secondary index could result in a
core dump. [#13843]
12. Fix a bug that could cause part of the free list to become unlinked
if a btree compaction was rolled back due to a transaction abort. [#13891]
13. Fix a bug with in-memory logging that could cause a race condition to
corrupt the logs. [#13919]
[no shlib major bump this time, yay]
4.3.28, so there are no API changes, and applications may be upgraded
by relinking against db4-4.3.29. We stop pretending to support a
"java" package option since we never even bothered with handling the
PLIST differences. Changes from version 4.3.28 include:
* The on-disk log format has changed.
* Add support for lightweight, transactionally protected Sequence
Number generation.
* Add support for Degree 2 isolation.
* Add election generation information to replication to support Paxos
compliance.
* A huge number of bug fixes, including eliminating some instances of
application deadlock and memory leak fixes.
* Some minor performance enhancements.
The Announcement:
Berkeley DB 4.3.28 is a patch release to 4.3.27, everyone is encouraged
to update to this version. The following have been addressed in this
patch release:
1. All patches for the prior version have been applied as well
as a few other fixes.
2. The product is available as a Windows x86 binary installer

configure script still used -pthread during the POSIX mutex test even
when we explicitly disabled pthread through CONFIGURE_ENV, resulting
in re-enabling pthread.
Bump PKGREVISION.
* Automatic initialization of replication clients
* Replication election process is now Paxos compliant
* In memory transaction logs allowing in memory databases
* Enhanced Java API nearly identical to that of our Java Edition
* Native support for sequence number generation
* Degree 2 transaction isolation
* Mutex statistics can now be easily gathered and recorded
* Support for Itanium2 chips running Windows XP
inter-process mutexes. In this case, we only care to use the native
threads. Bump the PKGREVISION since this means that non-native pthreads
platforms will no longer depend on GNU pth.
* Add a db1.builtin.mk file that detects whether DB-1.85 functionality
exists in the base system, and remove the distinction between
"native" and the other Berkeley DB packages -- we now refer to
db[1234]. This paves the way for any future databases/db1 package.
* USE_DB185 shouldn't need to be set by any packages -- its correct
value is now automatically determined by bdb.buildlink3.mk depending
on whether we explicitly request db1 or not. By default, if you
include bdb.buildlink3.mk, you want DB-1.85 functionality and
USE_DB185 defaults to "yes", but if you explicitly remove db1 from
the list of acceptable DBs, then USE_DB185 defaults to "no".
* Set BDB_LIBS to the library options needed to link against the DB
library when bdb.buildlink3.mk is included.
* We only add the DB library to the linker command automatically if
we want DB-1.85 functionality; otherwise assume that the package
configure process can figure out how to probe for the correct
headers and libraries.
Edit package Makefiles to nuke redundant settings of USE_DB185.
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
All library names listed by *.la files no longer need to be listed
in the PLIST, e.g., instead of:
lib/libfoo.a
lib/libfoo.la
lib/libfoo.so
lib/libfoo.so.0
lib/libfoo.so.0.1
one simply needs:
lib/libfoo.la
and bsd.pkg.mk will automatically ensure that the additional library
names are listed in the installed package +CONTENTS file.
Also make LIBTOOLIZE_PLIST default to "yes".
intended transformation: use "rm" to remove an option, "rmdir" to remove
all options containing a path starting with a given directory name, and
"rename" to rename options to something else.
