[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I applied such patch:

))
+   (properties
+    `((release-monitoring-url . "https://sqlite.org/download.html")))
    (build-system gnu-build-system)
    (inputs `(("readline" ,readline)))
    (native-inputs (if (hurd-target?)

It seems generic-html cannot find new sqlite releases:

$ ./pre-inst-env guix refresh sqlite
gnu/packages/sqlite.scm:49:2: warning: 'generic-html' updater failed to
determine available releases for sqlite

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Unfortunately this page uses JavaScript.  Without JS, you get:

  <a id='a2' href='hp1.html'>sqlite-autoconf-3350200.tar.gz</a><br>(2.82 MiB)</td>

We’d need to find a web page that directly links to the tarball, but I
can’t seem to find such a page.

Since the SQLite website doesn't seem amenable to discover new releases,
perhaps we could switch the source to Git and let our git updater do its
magic?

Switching the source to Git is probably a good idea but it has
additional implications: it adds more dependencies, and there’s a risk
of a cycle with ‘git-fetch’ for those using a daemon with
builtin:git-download, although a quick check suggests we’re fine:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix graph --path git-minimal sqlite
guix graph: error: no path from 'git-minimal <at> 2.41.0' to 'sqlite <at> 3.42.0'
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
