I fear, it´s not so easy :-( The support for Berkeley DB 2.x was tested
for DB version 2.3.16. It was released in January, 1998. Meanwhile,
Sleepycat has changed the API of the version 2 library with DB 2.5.x :-(
That means, we have to again patch the code to addept to that new API as
well. I will look for that in the next few days and update the -devel
branch when done.


Another point with the DB-2 support: when introducing the version 2 code,
I missed to update the slapd/tool programs as well (since I'm not using
those routinely :-). The effect was that ldif2ldbm crashed with an "id2entry
ldbm_store failed" error message on my linux 2.0.xx platform. The reason
was the usage of key and data variables of type Datum, which had not been
initialized to zero before usage. Since that structure now contains more
fields, which have to be set to zero when not used, I initialized every
occurance of Datum variables with memset(). The fix is included in -devel,
allready.


Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,
