That's because the -src package is the same as the "sqlite3" src package. Apparently that was not clear enough from the mailed setup.hint file, it's already uploaded to cygwin.com: 2014/1/13 Jan Nijtmans <jan.nijtm...@gmail.com>: > ========================================= > tcl-sqlite3/setup.hint ... > external-source: sqlite3 <<<<<<<<<<<< > prev: 3.7.15.2-1 > curr: 3.8.2-3 However, the one with the latest modifications can be found here now: <https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/69449580/Cygwin/sqlite3/sqlite3-3.8.2-3-src.tar.xz> 2014/1/14 Warren Young <war...@etr-usa.com>: > If it's hidden under /usr/lib/tcl or whatever, I don't see a problem with > the fully-versioned library file.

It's not a problem, but partly-versioned (only the "3") library file has the advantage that no uninstall needs to be done after an upgrade to a higher version. The directory cannot accidentally keep old versions of files around, every upgrade will simply overwrite it with the new version. If the filename is agreed upon, still agreement is needed on the directory where those file should be installed. Using /usr/lib/tcl8.x/sqlite3 is not strange at all: TEA dictates that there should be a tclConfig.sh file in /usr/lib, but Debian moves that to /usr/lib/tcl8.x as well. It's already in the search path of Tcl, so it will work without the need to patch Tcl itself. Putting it in /usr/lib/tcl8.6/sqlite3, and create a link in /usr/lib/tcl8.5 as well, has the advantage that it is already ready for (my locally compiled) Tcl 8.6. Of course, it could be the other way around as well, but then I would like to to put a link in /usr/lib/tcl8.6 anyway. It just depends on what plans Cygwin has for Tcl 8.6 in the near future, I simply don't know. Summarised: TEA (without full-version): /usr/lib/sqlite3/tclsqlite3.dll /usr/lib/sqlite3/pkgIndex.tcl TM (Tcl module new style): /usr/lib/tcl8/8.5/sqlite3/tclsqlite3.dll /usr/lib/tcl8/8.5/sqlite3/sqlite3-3.8.2.tm (not a good idea, because tm-files are expected to contain the full version number) My suggestion (looks like Fedora's "sqlite-tcl" package): /usr/lib/tcl8.5/sqlite3 -> ../tcl8.6/sqlite3 /usr/lib/tcl8.6/sqlite3/tclsqlite3.dll /usr/lib/tcl8.6/sqlite3/pkgIndex.tcl or /usr/lib/tcl8.6/sqlite3 -> ../tcl8.5/sqlite3 /usr/lib/tcl8.5/sqlite3/tclsqlite3.dll /usr/lib/tcl8.5/sqlite3/pkgIndex.tcl Who has the authority to make such decision? And who can add the "tcl-sqlite3" package to cygwin-pkg-maint? Thanks for all your cooperation! Regards, Jan Nijtmans
