So the transition 5.1.19 -> 5.1.25 forces a recompile. I.e. don't expect db-5.1.25 to be compatible. But either of db-5.1.19 and/or db-5.1.25 work fine, its only the transition that will lead to surprises. > Here is a quick reference on how I did it, may be some one stuck into it like > me: > > > > Compiling and Installation: > ___________________________ > =========================== > > 1.

I'm not at all sure what they are supposed to do or who added (its likely from RSE and OpenPKG several years back). It's sure to be some pretty arcane functionality ...
