It's enabled by default leading to: ldd /usr/bin/jackd ... libdb-5.3.so => /usr/lib64/libdb-5.3.so (0x00007ffff79ac000) Can be turned on/off with --db=yes/no (also disables metadata API usability). Suggesting a metadata USE flag. I'm not sure if anything in gentoo uses this API yet (apparently been present in JACK1 for some time), so maybe it should be a opt-in flag. Not sure which versions of berkdb it's okay with, seems to only test usability rather than versions. The old 5.3 seems to be accepted (only one I have installed as I only use berkdb with old software). On a side-note for reference, this is my own issue given gentoo doesn't set it up this way, but personally disabled it because it causes "cannot open DB environment: Permission denied" in userland with my system-wide jackd when using JACK_PROMISCUOUS_SERVER=<group>. /dev/shm/jack_db/* files need to be writable by <group> in this case but are -rw-r-----, other /dev/shm jack files are properly -rw-rw----. Guess could fix but I don't need the metadata API either way. Maybe someone else with the same setup does, but don't think gentoo should worry about it.
thanks for the detailed report. will commit it shortly.
