Comment 9 for bug 157165

Up.

Berkeley DB XML is a really nice piece of software that deserves a better visibility.
I think that having an official package in Ubuntu would help it to be widely adopted.

I would really like to have the PHP mod packaged as well.
It's time we move from SQL-based database to more flexible solutions for web sites development.

As per the official build guide (http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/xml/ref_xml/xml_unix/intro.html) :
"The Berkeley DB XML distribution comprises several libraries: a base C++ library, three third-party libraries, and optional libraries for additional language interfaces such as Java, Perl, Python, PHP, and Tcl".

So I guess this could be split into 5 different packages :
* berkeley-xmldb
* berkeley-xmldb-java
* berkeley-xmldb-php
* berkeley-xmldb-python
* berkeley-xmldb-tcl

The third party libraries (libdb, qxilla, libxerces) being already distributed in ubuntu.

Thanks for considering this request.
