Cygwin64 has an exisiting "tcl-sqlite3" package (version 3.7.15.2-1) which doesn't exist in Cygwin32. This package is not in cygwin-pkg-maint, so I assume someone (other than Warren Young) uploaded it as part of the Cygwin64 bootstrap process. This package was very useful to me: The source code of the bindings is already included in the sqlite3 source package, all that needed to be added is a few lines to actually build it. I think it is useful to more people than only me: It is part of the "batteries included" Tcl 8.6 package, but it works fine with Tcl 8.5 as well without re-compilation (I tested it with both!)
I'm thus offering to take over the following package: - tcl-sqlite3 Following http://cygwin.com/setup.html, I've copied the assorted setup.hint files below and uploaded the packages to my dropbox area: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/69449580/Cygwin/sqlite3/tcl-sqlite3/setup.hint https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/69449580/Cygwin/sqlite3/tcl-sqlite3/tcl-sqlite3-3.8.2-3.tar.xz https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/69449580/Cygwin64/sqlite3/tcl-sqlite3/setup.hint https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/69449580/Cygwin64/sqlite3/tcl-sqlite3/tcl-sqlite3-3.8.2-3.tar.xz I'm not sure if a GTG is needed from another package maintainer, otherwise Warren Young would be the most logical choice. Anyway, whatever feedback from Warren (or anyone else) is appreciated!

Programs that link with the SQLite library can have SQL database access without running a separate RDBMS process. The distribution comes with a standalone command-line access program (sqlite3) that can be used to administer an SQLite database and which serves as an example of how to use the SQLite library." external-source: sqlite3 prev: 3.7.15.2-1 curr: 3.8.2-3
