Hi all. I was hoping to get some advice: I want to make the sqlite3-tools package available via MacPorts (binaries available at https://sqlite.org/download.html); this package contains three binaries: sqlite3 CLI shell, sqldiff, and sqlite3_analyzer.
Problem: sqlite3_analyzer requires TCL; it turns out the `tcl` port actually includes sqlite3_analyzer built from its own bundled copy of sqlite3, but it is an older version. This older version is installed to ${prefix}/bin, so it conflicts with any newer version we might try to install. Questions: - Is it common knowledge that sqlite3_analyzer is available as part of TCL? Its inclusion there seems coincidental, perhaps just due to the fact that it's implemented in TCL? - If no, can we remove it from the `tcl` port? - If sqlite3_analyzer can't be removed from the `tcl` port, should the newer binary have a different name or be put in a different path? Is there a standard scheme for disambiguation like this? - If no to all above, sqlite3_analyzer can be built against the system-provided TCL framework, and the port can be marked as incompatible with the `tcl` port. Is that acceptable? (I would think not) Aside: I've got this working in two forms: a +tools variant on the `sqlite3` port, and a new port called `sqlite3-tools`; I'm feeling like a the +tools variant might be the better way to go, but feedback on this would be appreciated as well. Thanks, Aaron
