Thanks for your interest in, and use of, the debian fossil package.
I wish I could do as you request, in fact I've been prepared to for
some time (see the debian branch of the fossil repo at
http://cvs.bcl.hamilton.ie:8080/), but this is blocked on a different
package being upgraded.
In case you are curious, here are the specifics.
As mandated by both Debian policy and security considerations, the
debian fossil package uses debian's dynamic shared system libsqlite3
library instead of the copy of sqlite3 that comes inside fossil.
Right now, fossil needs a newer version of sqlite3 (3.7.7.1) than
available in debian unstable (3.7.7). On previous occasions I have
added guards disabling use of the new sqlite3 features to allow the
debian fossil package to compile with an older sqlite3. Unfortunately
the new features used in the latest release are, in my opinion, too
ubiquitous to make this sensible. Instead, I'm waiting for
libsqlite3 3.7.7.1 to be packaged.
Cheers,
--Barak.
