Description Kamil Kisiel 2008-08-05 17:56:02 UTC

SQLite allows the use of dynamically loadable extension modules. See http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/wiki?p=LoadableExtensions

The feature can be a potential security risk and is in the somewhat experimental stage right now, but can be enabled by adding

TCC += -DSQLITE_OMIT_LOAD_EXTENSION=1

to Makefile.in

 I suggest it be made a package-specific USE flag to allow those who wish to use this feature to compile it in.

Reproducible: Always
