That's good to know when evaluating the portability of TCL-8.5 scripts [on/in]to the OpenBSD platform. I built SQLite3 (with fts5 support) for my local development. I might build a local Tcl-8.5 with threads support. If Tcl-8.5 and Tcl-8.6 can use the same SQLite [executable] library, it might make sense to use a custom/local Tcl-8.5. Thanks for the informative response! :) How might the Tcl and SQLite-Tcl ports/packages change in the near future? Or is it highly probable that they will remain fairly similar to the way they are in 5.8-stable?
