As reprepro is compatible with libdb4.7 since january, can you please update the packaging of reprepro to make use of libdb-dev instead of libdb4.6-dev,

that would break once libdb4.8 is out (as libdb4.X uses some monstrosity
instead of sonames, so every minor version is a totally different
library from the view of the linker and autotools.)

Fair enough. Then, maybe a libdb4.6-dev | libdb4.7-dev build dependency would make the trick?

and also update the rules file to take into account libdb4.7?

Looking into libdb4.7 is on my todo list. I'd love to have the same

Ok. Thanks!

As attachement, here is the patch we apply in Ubuntu
I'm aware of those. The reason this is so short is because I already
added the libdb4.7 linking to configure. Note the big fat

configure: WARNING: reprepro not yet tested with libdb4.7, use on your own risk

Yeah: noticed it before, when building the package (and got scared :-) )

warning this produces in ubuntu build logs. I was bitten by libdb
too often to trust it with anything I've not thouroughly tested.
(Though as ubuntu already uses it, I decided to make this possible in
configure with the above warning).

ok. I'll follow up with the merges, then, until you make a compatible version.

Thanks,

Fabrice
