Like a few others posting here recently, I'd really like to use s3ql on CentOS 6. Amongst the list of requirements is the upgrade of sqlite from 3.6 to 3.7. This one is a little troubling, since sqlite is pretty intrinsic to CentOS (RHEL etc.) - used by yum, for example. Changing the version of sqlite from the CentOS 6-supplied 3.6, to a 3rd party repo-provided 3.7, means your OS technically stops being CentOS. This may be something I can live with on a home system, but I cannot recommend this to anyone at $work. We have enough trouble with other things like php from the atomic repo, since our customers don't often understand the rationale behind repos like atomic (latest!! yeah! oops, why has stuff stopped working?), vs the sensible, conservative CentOS/RHEL/EPEL repos (major version stays unchanged, all apps keep working, backfixing of bugs, sleep easy at night...!).
Nikolaus, please don't take this as a complaint, since you obviously have good reasons for the s3ql code needing sqlite 3.7, as is your right :), but I would love to know if this is a 'hard' requirement, or would there be any way to use s3ql with sqlite left at 3.6?
