Folks, I'm currently reviewing a package (c-icap - BZ2119983) which uses Berkeley DB, a product that is now marked as deprecated.
Currently the packager has decided to bundle BDB into the package, as it is the only way to get around the issue, but given that BDB looks like it will be around for sometime to come, would it be possible to request an exemption to allow linking against the currently distributed package, even though it is deprecated? This will remove the issue of having to monitor for any security issue in BDB for this particular package. We have raised the issue upstream and they are willing to move to a replacement, but as it is not a fast moving development it may be a little while before it is done.
