Once you have have a completed your port send all code changes that you made as "diff" files to Berkeley DB development for review.
</p>
<p>
Exactly how you integrate changes into the Berkeley DB source code varies depending on whether or not Oracle has agreed to support Berkeley DB on the new platform:

At this point, when Oracle has agreed to support Berkeley DB on the new platform:

</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
On receipt of the new snapshot, recompile this new snapshot. If the new snapshot compiles correctly without any changes, test the port again.
