--- Comment #3 from T. Gries <[email protected]> ---
> Is there a specific reason HEAD is recommended over the release-specific
> branch? This seems inconsistent with the versioning of other extensions.

Since my early years as MediaWiki developer - I started in 2004 - I learnt,
that only the (then-svn "trunk", now head) HEAD versions have the latest bugs
and security issues fixed, and at those times, we did not have a regular
release schedule. So I decided for my extensions, to only concentrate to keep
every "head" extension version running together with the most recent versions
in core. 

This also means that I check the "update" code, when core requires a database
change, the extension must be capable to work (and, if necessary, to adapt) to
such changes.

"Every version": in the sense, everytime when I have the time to check the
functionality with the new version.

Regarding sqlite: I never installed and used and tested E:OpenID with sqlite -
if you want to help, you are welcome. Your present bugreport is a help, and
perhaps we together can fix the "update does not work with Sqlite" issue.

The code is
https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/mediawiki%2Fextensions%2FOpenID/HEAD/OpenID.hooks.php#L506
and following. You will easily notice, that there is MySQLUpdater, and a
PostgreSQL updater, but that an SQliteUpdater is simply *missing*. If you feel
competent, please send me a proposal for a change, or make a commiot for review
in Gerrit. But please test your change thoroughly before submitting and
indicate along with the commit, that you have tested it successfully. (thanks
for this).
