   My work on slitaz involves scripting (both Perl & shell) and some database work.
   I am quite experienced on MySQL.
   Because Slitaz comes with SQLite I have been looking into that now and it seems to be an alternative worth investigating further. The only drawback I noticed is that the distro comes with a fairly ancient version, 3.7.9 whereas the SQLite website recommends to switch to the latest, 3.7.15.
   As there is no package for that version yet, I took the shortcut of downloading the precompiled binary. I simply swapped the sqlite3 executable in /usr/bin for the downloaded version. This worked with no issues thus far so there seem to be no dependencies for this.
   The analyzer package didn't work; failed on not finding libtcl8.6.so but sqlite3_anayzer is not in the slitaz distro so that makes sense.
   It would be nice though if an updated package could be made available for these two files. I would do it myself if I could but unfortunately this is not yet a skill which I posess.

   SliTaz 4.0 stable branch will stay with version 3.7.9
   Version 3.7.15 is available in cooking branch.

   OK, I get your point and I hadn't even checked the "Cooking" packages.
   Probably this version will be in Slitaz5.0?

   Another question: Is it then useful to check frequently for upgrades?
   Direct after installation from the Live CD I installed some 15 updated packages.
   These are probably relating to urgent bugs found after release of 4.0?
   The whole setup is rock-stable now and everything works, at least for what I can see of it. Unless I install something from the "Cooking" section the set of packages will probably be pretty static then?

   Seems that you have instantly built the package I requested?
   Thanks, I really appreciate that.
   There was a problem though when installing this.
   From cli I did tazpkg -i sqlite-3.7.15.0.tazpkg

   Installation was successfull but when starting the program, I got a message about inconsistent headers. Then I removed the previous version and installed sqlite-3.7.15.0.tazpkg but the result stays the same. The issue was fixed by re-installing v3.7.9 and then replace the file in /usr/bin with the downloaded one from sqlite.org. Did I make a mistake or is there a problem wit the package?

   Mostly static except with critical or bug fix related issues. We may sneak in an update or two for more stand-alone packages, but rarely for system critical or compatibility breaking packages. And I also wouldn't call something 'ancient' if a commit to was made to the branch (3.7.9) a few days ago. Thing to remember is that developers always believe the next version is better - even if it isn't all that compatible. That's why websites like oldversion.com exists.
