pauldv has long been the db maintainer, but he’s been pretty busy as of late so I’ve tried to help out a little bit.

Of note to Gentoo users: db 4.0 and 4.1 have been removed from portage. all arches are stable on 4.2 and the one conflicting package relying on db 4.1 has also been removed.

Also, the package.mask restriction on db 4.4 and 4.5 has been removed. This means that ~users will start seeing them trickle down into their systems. Please report build errors and other random bugs to me.

There are some really nice new benefits in 4.5, so it would be nice to get that infused into systems moving forward. I’m expecting some bumps, but please be nice.
