[New packages] db-4.5.20-1/libdb4.5-4.5.20-1/libdb4.5-devel-4.5.20-1 - Oracle Berkeley DB


Hi

The packages db-4.5.20-1/libdb4.5-4.5.20-1/libdb4.5-devel-4.5.20-1 are now 
available with the Cygwin distribution:

 o http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/berkeley-db/db/index.html (Homepage)


DESCRIPTION:
============

Oracle Berkeley DB is the industry-leading open source, embeddable 
database engine that provides developers with fast, reliable, local persistence 
with zero administration. Oracle Berkeley DB is a library that links directly 
into your application. Your application makes simple function calls, rather than 
sending messages to a remote server, eliminating the performance penalty of 
client-server architectures. Oracle Berkeley DB eliminates the overhead of SQL query 
processing, enabling applications with predictable access patterns to run 
faster.


With this version comes a maintainer switch. Gerrit P. Haase used to maintain the 
old Berkeley DB packages. 

The package consist of three packages:

1. `db' contains the documentation.
2. `libdb4.5' contains the runtime libraries.
3. `libdb4.5-devel' contains import libraries and headers as
   well as the utility executables (db_dump, db_load, ...).


Different versions of DB may be installed at the same time using
setup.exe, however the symlinks needed to link against libdb will be
removed by the postinstall script and the last installed libdb-devel
package will be the one found by the linker when using -ldb on the
linker command line.

The following symlinks are created by the postinstall libdb4.5-devel.sh script:

  /usr/bin/db_archive.exe    ---> db4.5_archive.exe
  /usr/bin/db_checkpoint.exe ---> db4.5_checkpoint.exe
  /usr/bin/db_deadlock.exe   ---> db4.5_deadlock.exe
  /usr/bin/db_dump.exe       ---> db4.5_dump.exe
  /usr/bin/db_hotbackup.exe  ---> db4.5_hotbackup.exe
  /usr/bin/db_load.exe       ---> db4.5_load.exe
  /usr/bin/db_printlog.exe   ---> db4.5_printlog.exe
  /usr/bin/db_recover.exe    ---> db4.5_recover.exe
  /usr/bin/db_stat.exe       ---> db4.5_stat.exe
  /usr/bin/db_upgrade.exe    ---> db4.5_upgrade.exe
  /usr/bin/db_verify.exe     ---> db4.5_verify.exe
  /usr/include/db.h          ---> db4.5/db.h
  /usr/include/db4/          ---> db4.5/
  /usr/lib/libdb.a           ---> libdb-4.5.a
  /usr/lib/libdb.la          ---> libdb-4.5.la
  /usr/lib/libdb.dll.a       ---> libdb-4.5.dll.a
  /usr/lib/libdb_cxx.a       ---> libdb_cxx-4.5.a
  /usr/lib/libdb_cxx.la      ---> libdb_cxx-4.5.la
  /usr/lib/libdb_cxx.dll.a   ---> libdb_cxx-4.5.dll.a


If you have previously installed an older version of this library, and 
after installation of the new version you need the old symlinks, reexecute
the version-dependent /etc/postinstall/libdb<version>-devel.sh script.

Eventually the Berkeley DB packages will be repackaged to use 
alternatives.
