Users of Berkeley DB,
We've transitioned our email announcement and discussion
email lists to
an Oracle hosted service. The purpose is not discussion,
but simply
announcements of releases and other Berkeley DB related
information.
For now this is unidirectional from me to you.
Your prior subscriptions to Sleepycat.com hosted email lists
have been
taken as implicit opt-in for this email list. If you'd like
to be
removed do so as described below, but we hope that you will
stay with us
so that we might keep you informed about Berkeley DB.
To join this list email bdb-join oss.oracle.com
To leave, send email to bdb-leaveoss.oracle.com
Archives of list email are archived at:
http://oss.oracl
e.com/pipermail/bdb/
Berkeley DB information is now hosted at Oracle, and soon
Sleepycat.com
will be redirected to this new location.
http://ww
w.oracle.com/database/berkeley-db/
All of the releases, documentation, case studies and all
other material
from the Sleepycat 'www' and 'dev' sites are now located
within the
'oracle.com' site. Please change over any links you
maintain on your
sites, within documentation, or other locations to their new
locations.
All historical downloads and all future downloads of
Berkeley DB
products are available via 'download.oracle.com' using the
following URL
pattern:
ht
tp://download.oracle.com/berkeley-db/<release package
name>
A 'release package name' is something like
'db-4.5.20.tar.gz' or
'je-3.1.0.zip', etc. Note that if you are a package
maintainer the old
links *will not* remain live much longer. Please change
packages in
your distributions to the new download locations as soon as
possible to
prevent any disruption in service. Also, note that the
Oracle download
service will redirect HTTP requests to region specific
servers. Please
test your packages to ensure that it will follow the
redirections. In
the event it does not follow the redirect simply supply a
region
specific URL in place of the generic one.
For example, rather than:
http://download.oracle.com/berkeley-db/db-4.5.20.tar.gz
use:
http://download-west.oracle.com/berkeley-db/db-4.5.2
0.tar.gz
The Oracle Technology Network (OTN) newsletter "OTN
TechBlast" at:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/techblast/index.html
is a more general way to learn of Oracle products and other
information.
We've decided to keep this announcement email list because
we feel our
community is used to this type of communication and is well
served by
specific Berkeley DB announcements.
Historically we've used email for informal, community
support. OTN
forums are now the location for our community to interact
with our
developers and support staff directly.

folks and our Berkeley DB developers for hints, tips, and
general
problem solving.
Thank you for your support of Berkeley DB,
regards,
