Bug 303058 – dev-db/sqlite needs to provide build option for SQLITE_SECURE_DELETE

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jory A. Pratt 2010-02-01 05:19:21 UTC]

We need to provide an option for secure delete, this is how mozilla upstream needs/wants sqlite support to be. Without secure delete ability, we can not continue to move mozilla products in gentoo forward.

SQLITE_SECURE_DELETE

This is not fully tested, should be enough to point things in right direction tho.

secure-delete is a better name as -secure implies insecure for me

updated patch to use secure-delete useflag as suggested.

Change made to be secure-delete, hope to see this land so I can push an update for xulrunner/firefox to utilize system sqlite again.

Blocker status means: "Blocks development and/or testing work of Gentoo as a whole"

Added. Not on by default because not there in upstream by default and has a performance penalty that servers probably don't want.
