Oktoshi do you plan to replace Berkeley DB 4.8 with newer version? Is there any special reason that OKcash is still on this version?
q= Is there special reason that OKcash is still on DB 4.8.30?
a= Backward compatibility and Licensing protection for all the users (MiT vs Agpl from new BDB versions).
q= Plans to replace DB 4.8.30 with newer version?
a= bDB instead of being upgraded to a newer version should get replaced/moved to a db with permissive license or
ideally should get replaced with internal append only (logdb). We follow the work jonasschnelli is doing in this way for Bitcoin,
so the most probable way OK will take will be the most secure one, the second choice.
Thanks for quick info. I am hoping for second choice. Less fuss while compiling wallet and no need to downgrade DB version on linux for compatibility reason...
