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-devel.sh script. Eventually the Berkeley DB packages will be repackaged to use alternatives. NEWS: ===== Requires log file format upgrade. The on-disk log file format changed in the Berkeley DB 4.5 release. For further information on upgrading Berkeley DB installations, see 'Upgrading Berkeley DB installations': file:///usr/share/doc/db-4.5.20/docs/ref/upgrade/process.html A detailed Changelog is available online at the Oracle Berkeley DB website: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/berkeley-db/db/index.html Packages which could potentially be updated: (according to setup.ini) ===================================================================== aprutil1 -> libdb4.2-devel clisp -> libdb4.3 gnome-libs-devel -> libdb4.3-devel libaprutil0 -> libdb4.2 libaprutil1 -> libdb4.2 libsasl2 -> libdb4.2 libsasl2-devel -> libdb4.2 ??? Is this right perl -> libdb4.2, libdb4.3 uses tow different versions python -> libdb4.2 subversion -> libdb4.2 xemacs -> libdb4.3 Enjoy Volker -- To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Once you've downloaded setup.exe, run it and select "Database" or "Libs" and then click on the appropriate fields until the above announced version numbers appear if they are not displayed already. If your mirror doesn't yet have the latest version of this package after 24 hours, you can either continue to wait for that site to be updated or you can try to find another mirror.
