db4 vs db43

[Rainer Müller]

Hi,

I noticed we got a db4 port, which installs bdb 4.3.29 and a db43 port
which installs exactly the same version.

Now I'm asking if we can either
a) remove db4 completely and upgrade ports depending on it to a specific
   version db4[1-6]
or
b) make db4 some sort of meta port depending on the latest version of
   db4x only without intalling anything.

What do you think?

This affects 14 ports which depend on db4:
databases/libgda3
devel/poedit
gnome/libgda
lang/prothon
mail/exim
mail/isync
mail/mutt-devel
mail/spamprobe
net/netatalk
ruby/rb-bdb
ruby/rb-bdb
science/xastir
sysutils/cfengine
www/redland

We should resolve this and don't have two ports installing the same thing.

Kindly Regards,
Rainer
