BerkeleyDB 6

Summary

Add BerkeleyDB v. 6, which changed license from previous releases (GPLv2+ to AGPLv3+), to Fedora while keeping the older version for packages which cannot use BerkeleyDB with the new license.

Current status

  • Targeted release: Fedora 21
  • Last updated: 2014-04-08
  • Tracker bug: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>

Detailed Description

The BerkeleyDB, used between others by rpm, changed license between versions 5.* and 6.* to AGPLv3+ from GPLv2+. As those two licenses are not compatible, packages using the BerkeleyDB either has to change its license to AGPLv3+ compatible, keep on using the older BerkeleyDB or use another DB entirely.

Target of this change is to create new set of packages from current libdb, which contains the v5 version, and keep it alongside the latest BerkeleyDB.

Benefit to Fedora

This change enables projects and packages to use BerkeleyDB with GPLv2+ license, allowing them to work until the upstream makes their decision about the license change, and at the same time do not restricts projects which already adopted the BerkeleyDB with new license to the older versions of it.

Scope

  • Proposal owners: Create new set of packages and introduce proper versioning in order to not confuse the dynamic linker.
  • Other developers: Packages dependent on libdb would have to specify which version they want to use (specify version in the spec Requires: field). Rebuilds of dependent packages will be necessary.
  • Release engineering: None
  • Policies and guidelines: None

Upgrade/compatibility impact

If the versioning of the symbols will be implemented in the v5, user-built software linked against it will need to be rebuilt.

How To Test

Check if dependent projects builds, runs as expected and do not have license incompatibilities.

User Experience

None (ideally).
