I remember that there has been repeated requests to add symbol versioning to db in order to eliminate problems in allowing multiple db versions to co-exist.

It doesn't appear that this effort has been completed as the current db in portage still uses non-versioned symbols. We should get this done before the 1.4 release so that new users don't have to worry about recompiling all their db-based apps. I just talked to Seemant on irc. He's going to get the right people working on this so that we get some kind of good solution in place asap. Thanks in advance to anyone who helps out in this effort.
