Build perl against libdb rather than db4?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I think Fedora's perl (and the rest of the distribution for that matter) should be built against libdb (db5) rather than db4, at least in Rawhide, so as to avoid problems like:

http://bugzilla.redhat.com/768846
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/712943

Changed the BR: of db4-devel to libdb-devel is sufficient to achieve this, and the resulting perl does pass its test suite.

Anybody else have any opinion on this?

Marcela, is RHEL-7 built consistently against the same libdb version or is this mixing of versions going to be a problem throughout its entire lifecycle?

Paul.
