Description kbw 2018-10-06 02:23:17 UTC
I noticed this message while installing qt5.

    Message from sqlite-2.8.17_4:

    ===>   NOTICE:

    The sqlite port currently does not have a maintainer. As a result, it is
    more likely to have unresolved issues, not be up-to-date, or even be removed
    in the future. To volunteer to maintain this port, please create an issue at:

    https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla

I would like to volunteer to maintain the relevant packages.

Thank you for your offer to maintain a port Keith.

If you haven't already, please familiarise yourself with the following documentation which goes over maintainer expectations, responsibilities, and the process to submit changes, including updating the MAINTAINER line of a port:

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/contributing/ports-contributing.html

You can submit the change (per the documentation) in this issue/bug.

Note also that the last sqlite 2.x (aka "sqlite2") release was 2.8.17 (the current port version) in 2005/12/19 and is extremely unlikely to receive any further version updates. This is not reason enough not to have a maintainer, but I thought I'd mention it.

I'm also not sure why/how some ports still rely on the 2.x version of the sqlite library.
