Hi all, Jesus, apologies that this has taken so long for me to get back to, I've been completely and utterly swamped with client work the past few weeks. However, thanks to a couple of hours spare at Detroit airport yesterday, I was finally able to make some progress on updating the Windows Berkeley DB build to 4.7.25. I've checked in the work I've done so far to branches/tnelson-trunk-bsddb-47-upgrade. One thing I wanted to double check with you is the following change: Modified: python/branches/tnelson-trunk-bsddb-47-upgrade/Lib/bsddb/test/test_replication.py ============================================================================== --- python/branches/tnelson-trunk-bsddb-47-upgrade/Lib/bsddb/test/test_replication.py (original) +++ python/branches/tnelson-trunk-bsddb-47-upgrade/Lib/bsddb/test/test_replication.py Wed Jun 18 06:13:44 2008 @@ -94,7 +94,7 @@ # The timeout is necessary in BDB 4.5, since DB_EVENT_REP_STARTUPDONE # is not generated if the master has no new transactions. # This is solved in BDB 4.6 (#15542). - timeout = time.time()+2 + timeout = time.time()+10 while (time.time()<timeout) and not (self.confirmed_master and self.client_startupdone) : time.sleep(0.02) if db.version() >= (4,6) : Basically, when using +2, the test failed every so often when running the entire test_bsddb3 suite.

Apart from this small issue, the other 311 tests pass on x86 and x64 with flying colours, so nice work, whatever you've been doing ;-) Regards, Trent.
