Greetings, I've just built bogofilter against the latest Berkeley DB release, 5.0.21, on FreeBSD 8 amd64. The native API works good (builds and passes tests just out of the box). Oracle's new "SQLite front-end with Berkeley DB back-end" however causes scores to drift (apparently tokens go missing somehow) and the locking tests to fail under contention - this is something that happens neither with the native front-end nor with a real SQLite. So I've declared Oracle Berkeley DB's new SQLite interface unsupported -- if you're using Berkeley DB, use its native API for bogofilter, like you always did, and do yourself the maintenance favour and enable transactional mode. The updated documents (doc/README.sqlite, doc/README.db, NEWS) are in SVN. Happy filtering -- Matthias Andree bogofilter co-maintainer _______________________________________________ Bogofilter mailing list [email protected] http://www.bogofilter.org/mailman/listinfo/bogofilter
