>Description:
I noticed that when the USE_BDB is used to provide a LIB_DEPENDS on a particular version of Berkley dB, that it doesn't define BDB_LIB_NAME or the BDB_INCLUDE_DIR. Without these variables defined the port maintainers that include USE_BDB in their ports, will have to define these variables for themselves.
I also noticed that the USE_BDB, doesn't honor the WITH_BDB_VER variable, instead it is left up to the ports maintainer to define the variable.
>How-To-Repeat:
Have a look at the security/cyrus-sasl2 and */kdesdk3 ports on how they are defining the location of the Berkley dB include directory and the name of the Berkley db library. And their use of WITH_BDB_VER.
