We begin with the Berkley DB2, wh= ich is the first major revision of the original Berkeley DB. The version of= db-2 is 2.7.7, which is the last stable version released for the db-2 line.= There are many projects which can use the db-2, one such project being xem= acs. Our intent is to provide the standard database api's in the same manne= r as redhat does, by partitioning the libraries in their own directory based= on revision number. Post-install will then create symbolic links to the mo= st current version. Previous versions can be specified by explicitly declar= ing the path to the particular version's directory or explicitly linking to=20= that version. For example "-L/usr/lib/db2 -ldb" or "-ldb2". The packages f= or db-2 are based on packaging method #2 and were done originally by Charles= Wilson and Harold Hunt. We have volunteered to maintain them for them, as=20= they have other projects to work on. The packages have been split up into t= he following: db2 - core db2 libdb2 - db2 runtime libdb2-devel - db2 development libraries and utilities Why this was done is best explained by Chuck, who explained it to me as: "It's a bit confusing, true -- but it came about in an evolutionary=20 process while Harold and I were refining the db2 and db3.3 packages.=20 Perhaps they are the tonsils or appendices of the evolutionary=20 progression; it isn't clear yet. The idea was this: db2-devel MUST contain docu on the utilities it=20 provides. Also, since the database manipulation programs are version=20 specific (that is, if you have a db2 database, you MUST use=20 db2_checkpoint and db2_archive on it; if all you have is=20 db3.3_checkpoint, then you're up a creek). So, these utility programs=20 must be able to coexist with newer versions -- hence, they are named=20 "db2_foo" (with symlinks db_foo pointing to them) and they are part of=20 the db2-devel package NOT the db package. [otherwise, they'd get=20 replaced when you update 'db']. This way, the unversioned symlinks=20 point to the most-recently-installed utilities, but the versioned=20 utilities are there "forever" -- along with their documentation. It's just bad luck that once you pull out the runtime libs and put them=20 into fooVER, pull out the utility programs, link libs, and headers and=20 put them into fooVER-devel, all that's left behind in foo is documentation. If there were, for instance, example programs (NOT versioned utilities)=20 and sample databases, then those would probably go into foo. (because=20 "examples" are really only meaningful for the "current" version. Who cares about sample databases for the 3-year-old db2 format?)" Which makes perfect sense.

Haase. ----- version 2.7.7-2 ----- = Static and import libraries renamed to "libdb2*" so that they can coexist with the libraries from db-3.x. = include files installed into /usr/include/db2/ for the same reason. = Headers and static/import libraries now have their own package: libdb2-devel. = Utility programs were renamed from "db_*.exe" to "db2_*.exe" so they can coexist with the ones from version 3. = A postinstall script creates symlinks for the "original" names/locations, so that "-ldb" and "#include " still work. These changes were based on the packaging structure of the Mandrake and Red Hat RPMS for these packages. (They've figured out the problems and found a solution; let's copy theirs...) ----- version 2.7.7-1 ----- Initial release. Cygwin port maintained by: Nicholas Wourms & Gerrit P.
