Arch Linux User Repository

Let me explain the current situation:

The package got flagged out-of-date 2025-05-18 because if build issues. Upstream is not maintained anymore and I tried to switch to a somehow maintained fork. Unfortunately I wasn't able to compile it at that time and still haven't got the time to fix it.

That said, I still plan to get this to build eventually, but no specific schedule yet. Thus I offered this package for adoption to someone who wants to maintain it.

Now this happened:

2025-08-24 00:43: matthewq337 filed an orphan request for sqliteman
2025-08-24 -----: The package sqliteman was disowned by SammysHP
2025-08-24 18:42: The package sqliteman was adopted by matthewq337
2025-08-24 18:42: The package sqliteman was disowned by matthewq337

Looking at their history in AUR-requests, I don't feel confident matthewq337 actually wants to maintain this package. So I took it back for now to prevent it from being removed completely.

My offer is still valid: If someone wants to adopt and maintain this package, please let me know.

Unfortunately there are more fixed required to build the fork. My current progress is here:

    -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5
  make
}

package() {
  cd build
  make DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" install
}

Sqliteman/cmake/modules/FindQScintilla.cmake is not working and the search paths have to be updated. Then there's another issue with buildtime.h.

I don't have the time to fix this at the moment. If someone wants to adopt this package, please let me know. For the meantime I suggest sqlitestudio as a replacement.

@tyjak

CMake 4.0 removed support for versions older than 3.5 and deprecated versions older than 3.10. In addition some policies (use old behavior for specific features) were removed. To fix this, parts of the CMake configuration must be rewritten.

I will try to switch to a fork of sqliteman that appears to be maintained: https://github.com/rparkins999/sqliteman

Can't install I encountered this error :

==> Lancement de build()…
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:6 (CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED):
  Compatibility with CMake < 3.5 has been removed from CMake.

  Update the VERSION argument <min> value.  Or, use the <min>...<max> syntax
  to tell CMake that the project requires at least <min> but has been updated
  to work with policies introduced by <max> or earlier.

  Or, add -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 to try configuring anyway.

Try to add -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 in PKGBUILD but now I've this error :

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:9 (cmake_policy):
  Policy CMP0003 may not be set to OLD behavior because this version of CMake
  no longer supports it.  The policy was introduced in CMake version 2.6.0,
  and use of NEW behavior is now required.

  Please either update your CMakeLists.txt files to conform to the new
  behavior or use an older version of CMake that still supports the old
  behavior.  Run cmake --help-policy CMP0003 for more information.


CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:10 (cmake_policy):
  Policy CMP0005 may not be set to OLD behavior because this version of CMake
  no longer supports it.  The policy was introduced in CMake version 2.6.0,
  and use of NEW behavior is now required.

  Please either update your CMakeLists.txt files to conform to the new
  behavior or use an older version of CMake that still supports the old
  behavior.  Run cmake --help-policy CMP0005 for more information.

@rosenberg

That is a different application not related to this package. The download works for me, have you tried it manually as well?

The sqliteman of this package is discontinued, but the old version can still be used. The website isn't available for years, though.

The website is down.

Is this the same as: https://sqliteman.dev/?

If not, should this be flagged out-of-date?

@simplexe

Thank you! Currently I am on vacation, but I will apply your changes once I am back.

Update and fix qscintilla-qt5
