Yes, SQLite v2 and SQLite v3 are different and binary incompatible. However, on Debian 'etch' you can install packages for both versions concurrently; most packages for SQLite have either a '2' or a '3' in the name. Packages without the number use the "best current choice" which is "3" in 'etch' at the moment but was "2" not too long ago.
Thanks for the info! I have to say though: Ouch. Do you know if there's an upgrade path for apps? Does v3 detect you've got a v2 file and do something smart (upgrade in place / spit out a readable error)? ...
I'd guess that you were unfortunate enough to just install some packages during the transition
Problem is that we have to help with the transition for users that started with v2 and get upgraded to v3 at the app level I suspect.
Incidentally I'd guess that in itself SQLite2 (so version 2) would also function perfectly well for git-cvsserver (as would PostgreSQL or MySQL)
This was developed against v2. If v3 is backwards compatible, it'll just work. If not... we'll hear about it soon ;-) Pg/MySQL aren't really supported, though it wouldn't be that hard. martin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
