Solved [Solved] Installing Subversion

I just downloaded FreeBSD 10-RC2 and am trying to follow some instructions to install KDE4 on 10 (I saw the forum rule to not post URLs). This is my first time trying to get a desktop set up from FreeBSD, but not my first time with FreeBSD. One of the instructions is to install Subversion to get the OS source. When I run portmaster devel/subversion and select all the default options I get the following error (Summary):

Code: 
devel/subversion >> devel/apr1 >> databases/db42 (3/3)

This port is marked deprecated
Please use databases/db5 or db6 for new installs.

If you are sure you can build it, remove the DEPRECATED line in the Makefile and try again.

Removing the line works and I can "get past" this step. Is this okay? I have other problems installing, but figured I'd start with this one.
Code: 
uname -a
10.0-RC2 FreeBSD 10.0-RC2 #0 r259404: Sun Dec 15 08:18:20 UTC 2013 root@snap.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64
 
Re: Installing subversion

No, most of the BDB ports have been replaced with databases/db5. Install that. Then deinstall databases/db42 and watch what ports it says require it. Then rebuild those ports.

Remember to check /usr/ports/UPDATING for the latest notes. The BDB changes are mentioned in the last couple of days.
 
Re: Installing Subversion

wblock, sorry for the long delay.

I did not have any versions of db installed to begin with, so i installed db5 and then reran the command to install subversion and it worked.

I'm pretty new to working with a non-release version. Should this be reported as a bug or anything?
 
Re: Installing Subversion

It is not related to the version of FreeBSD. It only involves the BDB ports, and, as I understand it, that's just the way they are right now. Other ports need to be updated to pick one of them as a dependency.
 
Re: Installing Subversion

wblock, thank you for your time. I'd mark as solved but do not have the post count yet.
