[Pkg-db-devel] Bug#394648: Please explain POSIX thread issue?

[Martin Foster]

Hello,

We've done a bit of testing of bdb 4.5 on i386 using a backport of the 
db4.5 package in sid.  Seems to work well.  The replication 
functionality in 4.5 would be nice to have available in etch.

I can't find any references to the POSIX thread issue in 
Oracle/Sleepycat's documentation.  Could you please elaborate a bit, or 
consider including db4.5 without necessarily rebuilding other 
applications to link against it.  As you know, bdb has a long history of 
requiring a few years for each version to mature / get fully patched up. 

Thanks,

-Martin Foster
