Bug#905068: ITP: golang-github-canonicalltd-dqlite -- Distributed SQLite for Go applications
Hey there,
I do have the intention to submit the patches upstream, but since 1) the
work is not fully complete 2) SQLite authors are *extremely*
conservative when it comes to contributions, that won't happen any time
soon.
Is there anything that prevents you from going with second option? You
can grab:
https://github.com/CanonicalLtd/sqlite/releases/tag/version-3.24.0%2Breplication3
and package it as a new sqlite-replication library. It's fairly safe to
have it Conflict and Replace the regular sqlite package, since the
patches onlly add things, they don't modify behavior or change APIs.
Cheers
