UVF-Request: sqlite 2.8.17

[André Klitzing]

It's only a little change in "new" sqlite 2.x version. It would be better to include it to avoid corruption.

2005 December 19 (2.8.17)
* Fix an obscure bug that can cause database corruption under the following unusual circumstances: A large INSERT or UPDATE statement which is part of an even larger transaction fails due to a uniqueness contraint but the containing transaction commits.

sqlite is in main, there's nothing MOTU-UVF can do. Ask Matt Zimmerman or Colin Watson for main packages.

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Matt, what do you think? To me the change looks fairly safe and worthwhile.

[André Klitzing (misery)]

Oh... I didn't see that libsqlite0 is in main. I only saw "universe" for sqlite.

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

apt-cache showsrc <sourcepackage|package> knows. Sometimes source packages in main have some of their binary packages in Universe.

Looks like an interface change to me; please check that (and send unified
diffs in the future).

I asked at SQLite developers...

Answer:
No. SQLite never changes its interface (except in backwards compatible
ways) unless the first number in the version changes. So there was
an interface change from 2.x.x to 3.x.x (in 2004). But there have been
no other incompatible interface changes.

[André Klitzing (misery)]

Info is added... needs to confirm!

[Matt Zimmerman (mdz)]

If it's backward compatible, it's fine with me. It isn't packaged in Debian yet, though, so there's no existing package to sync.

[Sebastian Dröge (slomo)]

Matt, are you fine with the update at this point? I have an updated package locally

[Matt Zimmerman (mdz)]

Yes, as above
