[gentoo-dev] DB4.1 progression

Greetings everybody

Myself and Pauldv have made the decision to move ahead with the next
stage of the DB4.1 support, providing there are no big problems raised
here.

This consists of removing the profile masks for sys-libs/db to NOT block
DB4.1 from being installed.

sample change:
--- default-x86-1.4/packages    26 Sep 2003 05:59:24 -0000      1.27
+++ default-x86-1.4/packages    12 Oct 2003 08:57:13 -0000

+*sys-libs/db
 *>=sys-libs/ncurses-5.2.20020112a
 *>=sys-libs/pam-0.75-r9
 *sys-libs/pwdb

This change will only be made to the default-x86-1.4 profile for the present
moment. In line with this, sys-libs/db-4.1.25_p1-r1 will be ~x86. 

As part of the testing for this, openldap-2.1 will have it's entry in
package.mask removed. openldap-2.1 requires db-4.1, so it's a good testcase.
PHP also makes a reasonable testcase, but look at the output to see which
version of DB it picks to install against. (For all testing, please ensure the
'berkdb' USE flag is on).

Non-x86 arches can follow thru with the same change when they feel ready for
it. ia64 appears to be already running DB4.1 and I haven't had any bugs from
them, so that's good news already.

A number of profiles (alpha, arm, hppa, ppc) are still limiting themselves to
DB3.2, and should at least move forward to DB4.0 on their testing trees. (see
bug #28328)

If any bugs crop up, please file them as new bugs, and make them block bug
#23571 (our tracking bug for DB4.[01] issues).

Here is the current state of profile masks for sys-libs/db:

Presently non-masked profiles:
default-1.0_rc6/packages:*sys-libs/db
default-ia64-1.4/packages:*sys-libs/db
default-ppc-1.0_rc6/packages:*sys-libs/db
default-ppc/packages:*sys-libs/db
default/packages:*sys-libs/db

Weird profile mask:
default-amd64-1.4/packages:*>=sys-libs/db-4

Normal profiles, all limit to DB4.0 as max:
default-mips-1.4/packages:*<sys-libs/db-4.1.0
default-sparc-1.4/packages:*<sys-libs/db-4.1.0
default-sparc64-1.4/packages:*<sys-libs/db-4.1.0
default-x86-1.4/packages:*<sys-libs/db-4.1.0
hardened-x86-1.4/packages:*<sys-libs/db-4.1.0

Current (I think) profiles that should be update to <sys-libs/db-4.1.0 at the
very least:
default-alpha-1.4/packages:*<sys-libs/db-3.2.10
default-arm-1.4/packages:*<sys-libs/db-3.2.10
default-hppa-1.4/packages:*<sys-libs/db-3.2.10
default-ppc-1.4/packages:*<sys-libs/db-3.2.10
grp-x86-1.4/packages:*<sys-libs/db-3.2.10
selinux-ppc-1.4/packages:*<sys-libs/db-3.2.10
selinux-x86-1.4/packages:*<sys-libs/db-3.2.10

Old profiles:
default-1.0-gcc3/packages:*<sys-libs/db-3.2.10
default-1.0/packages:*<sys-libs/db-4.1.0
default-ppc-1.0/packages:*<sys-libs/db-3.2.10
default-sparc-1.0/packages:*<sys-libs/db-3.2.10
default-sparc64-1.0/packages:*<sys-libs/db-3.2.10

Obsolete profile?
gcc33-sparc64-1.4/packages:*<=sys-libs/db-4.0.14-r2

Unfortunately for me on both x86 and sparc, openldap-2.1.x keeps failing
because it can't link to the rypt library (note: rypt is not a type-o). 
Testing PHP now
