Done.

I obsoleted the following packages:

   db-2.7.7
   db-3.1.17
   db-3.3.11.2
   db-4.0.14
   db-4.1.25.3
   db-4.2.52.5
   db-4.3.29.1
   db-4.4.20.4

did a rebuild of

   db-4.5.20.2

and added

   db-4.8.30

5.x will follow later when the dust settles.

Done. It has now a pkgIndex.tcl file.

Done, with all the paches and security fixes.

You will find the packages under /home/vzell on sourceware. Just copy 
(scp -r) them over when everybody is ready.

Thanks
