[Buildroot] [PATCH] Revert "berkeleydb: bump to version 6.0.20"

[Yann E. MORIN]

Jérôme, All,

On 2013-10-07 21:36 +0200, Jérôme Pouiller spake thusly:
> BerkeleyDB has changed its license since version 6. New license (AGPL) may
> be incompatible with some packages. So we prefer to stick to version 5

I'd prefer we'd phrase it something like:

    # Since BerkeleyDB version 6 and above are licensed under the Affero
    # GPL (AGPL), we want to keep this 'bdb' package at version 5.x to
    # avoid licensing issues.
    # BerkeleyDB version 6 or above should be provided by a dedicated
    # package instead.

Because we really do want to keep 5.x, while your text seems to imply we
could bump the version. We do not want this to happen.

>  BERKELEYDB_SITE = http://download.oracle.com/berkeley-db
>  BERKELEYDB_SOURCE = db-$(BERKELEYDB_VERSION).NC.tar.gz
>  BERKELEYDB_SUBDIR = build_unix
