about the Berkeley DB 4 "cleanup"
[Ref: ports/UPDATING 20131214] I am an indirect user of BDB (currently ver 4.3); "pkg version -r" reports redland-1.0.16 ruby19-bdb43-0.6.6_1 webalizer-geoip-2.23.8 php5-5.4.21 xmms-1.2.11_20 libreoffice-4.0.6_1 gramps-3.3.0_2 docproj-2.0_1 librcc-0.2.12 apr-1.4.8.1.5.3 apache24-2.4.6_1 subversion-1.8.5 py27-bsddb-2.7.6_3 portupgrade-2.4.11.3,2 as being dependant, and I suspect the list will be longer with each passing day. While I appreciate the work done to move the universe along, the upgrade instructions included (by reference) are partially past my understanding and _way_ beyond my comfort zone. (And I suspect I'm not alone.) So: what explodes if I simply set "WITH_BDB_VER=5", shutdown my services, and rebuild? Alternately: does someone whose comfort zone this is well within) have a script that will take care of things?

I've got a similar list of dependencies but only subversion and apr actually use BDB. The rest seem to be dependencies on apr. I went a step further and set "WITH_BDB_VER=5" in /etc/make.conf and proceeded to update. At the end, I still had db42-4.2.52_5. I suspect it was because that neither apr or subversion needed updated. I'm not sure if I should switch the origin of BDB for involved ports, do forced rebuild of a few ports or if doing a recursive update is needed. Some additional direction would be much appreciated. My eyes glazed over trying to read the Wiki link to updating since I don't know database vocabulary so you're not alone ;-) Randy ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Sorry for not providing clearer instructions. One of the difficulties that anyone will face in writing instructions is that I have no viable approach of telling which port uses Berkeley DB in which ways, directly or indirectly. That would mean having to become acquainted with each and every port that uses Berkeley DB in some way, figure out what it does, and how it uses that, and explore all options. For me, that is beyond my resources and also beyond my interest. And, unfortunately, it will also be beyond the capabilities of a script. So my approach was to write general instructions that look at what's in the database directories. I am currently investigating failures that have been reported and that I cannot reproduce and hope to come up with refinements to the instructions later. ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
Re: about the Berkeley DB 4 "cleanup"
I had db42 and db47. I checked dependant ports (pkg info -r), pasted the list to mousepad, installed db5 with portmaster, deinstalled db42 and db47 forcefully (pkg delete -f), and recompiled ports from the list with portmaster. Some of them failed this way, so I deinstalled them and consequently compiled them traditional way (make install clean), which went well. I did this on 8 different servers and I didn't encounter any problems so far. I feared a bit when I saw amavisd-new on the list of dependant ports on one of my production mail servers, but I had no problem after the upgrade. -- Marko Cupać ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
