NOTES:
o dll and -a version of libdb
o cygwin-specific doc /usr/doc/Cygwin/db-3.1.17.README missing at this point
(will soon be there)
o generic docs in /usr/doc/db-3.1.17/*
o source archive distributed as original source and patch-file; standard src-tar
file will follow
o cygwin-specific README and PATCH are soon stored in the source archive, under
<top>/CYGWIN-PATCHES/* (although the patch has already been applied to the
archive itself).
MAINTAINER STATUS:
I will maintain the package
PACKAGING STATUS:
When tested this package should go to the contrib directory
NEVERENDINGTHANKS STATUS:
2.000.0000+ thanks go directly to Charles Wilson who has created the dll version
of this.
Without his work on dll'izing apps this all would never have happened!
Comments and test reports welcome!
