Hey folks,

I am sure there must be an easy way to do this.

I am currently running 5.3 and "yum info db4" tells me that they have version 4.3.29.

Is that telling me that this is the version in 5.3? Or that this is the latest version in the 5.x stream?

If the former, then how do I find out what release of the db4 software (sleepcat berkeley db) is in 5.7?

I don't want to "yum upgrade" just yet. I have to research a number of things before upgrading, and this is one of them.

thanks, -Alan

If you have questions on the 5.7 version why not building a virtual machine and do tests on it?
