It turns out we should be using the bundled sqlite3 anyway, and mozilla.port.mk has an option to do this. Attached are updated ports that reflect this and build on the (earliest) 3 Oct snap. Tested on amd64. Feedback, comments, most welcome. Pax, -A -- http://haqistan.net/~attila | att...@stalphonsos.com | 0x62A729CF
