Hi,
I'd like to see the distributed SCM "Fossil" (www.fossil-scm.org)
packaged for Fedora because I find the concept of the tool quite
attractive. There was already a review request for it in bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=521730
After looking into the code I noticed that SQLite is bundled with the
tarball. Does the Fedora policy require to link against the separately
packaged libsqlite3 in this case, or may we use the bundled version that
will be statically linked? Since Fossil requires the recent version of
SQLite, it doesn't build with the current sqlite3-devel.
I also wrote an email to Richard Hipp, the author of Fossil and SQLite,
about an issue with the code and he answered that "Fossil tends to use
the very latest features of SQLite and often will not work with older
versions of SQLite." This will probably make it even harder to get the
most recent versions work if sqlite-devel must be used.
So my question is: Does Fossil/SQLite fall under the "No Bundled
Libraries Act" as described on
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/No_Bundled_Libraries or may we use the
bundled copy?
Thanks in advance for any clarification. :)
Martin
