4.7.25 generally looks fine, except for sparc (afaics); I asked the Debian bsddb maintainer to have a look at the sparc problems. At least on sparc, there's no difference between 4.6 and 4.7. I usually try to run the buildbots with the recent software in the distribution, as this is what users will see with the next release.

Many buildbots are running bsddb 4.7, particularly the debian/ubuntu ones (4.7.25 which seems to be the latest). Some of them are crashing, others are not. The max version we support in both 2.6 and 3.0 is 4.7. Should we allow this version or should we use a lower maximum that is more likely to work (ie, not crash)?

It looks like the WIndows buildbots use 4.4.20. Unfortunately, the Windows bots aren't in great shape either. Additionally, there are reference leaks in both 2.6 and 3.0: testbsddb3 leaked [80, 80] references, sum=160 (2.6) testbsddb3 leaked [63, 63] references, sum=126 (3.0) It would be nice to get as many of these things fixed up before release. Jesus, Greg, Trent, can you make some time over the next week to stabilize bsddb support? Thanks, n PS. To change the max version of bsddb supported in Unix, modify maxdbver in setup.py.
