I hope no one thinks this inappropriate. I have been gone from D work for over 16 months, and trying to get back in the swing of things. I have a simple python app that uses BerkeleyDB (4.2), and I would like to port it to the D Language. Since my C skills are "less than useful", I am offering a bounty of $100USD (payable via Paypal) to the first successful conversion of db.h (the header file for BerkeleyDB), with a working example in D. Caveats: 1) The .h file to be converted is here: http://dotnot.org/db.h 2) You do not need to convert from line 1894 on (historical API is useless to me). Up to line 1893, I need as full a conversion as possible. 3) You must include a sample program that creates a DBEnv, opens a db, put()s, get()s, and runs a cursor(). 4) It must run on Linux. It does not need to use GDC, dmd is fine, although either is acceptable. 5) The license of all code must be suitable for use with BerkeleyDB. 6) The work does not have to be original (I couldn't find one out there yet), but your bounty will be split 50/50 with the author. 7) I can only pay one winner, so be the first to satisfy the prior 6 requirements. Submissions should be sent to scott at stonecobra dot com with the subject "db.h conversion".

Scott Sanders <Scott_member pathlink.com> Brad, this is a great start! I am working on a sample program now. The only thing I see off the cuff that I also need is DB_ENV, but I may be able to translate between the .h and your conversion. I think that is good for half the money (email me privately to tell me where to send it to), anyone else want to take down the other half (port DB_ENV, and create a sample program)?

Amazing what people will do for money, isn't it? Incentives....Everyone (or nearly) does have a job, so yeah, it is. Brad already had the conversion nearly finished for another project, so he definetly didn't do it for the money. Scott
