pysqlcipher3 vs pysqlcipher3static vs sqlcipher3-wheels

[maxhbr]

Hey,

I am trying to get signal-export packaged for me on NixOS. Sadly neither pysqlcipher3static nor sqlcipher3-wheels are already available.

• https://github.com/carderne/signal-export/releases/tag/v3.0.2 uses sqlcipher3-wheels but is not yet promoted to be a release
• https://github.com/carderne/signal-export/releases/tag/v3.0.1 uses pysqlcipher3static

I would like to understand where to invest work. Is already decided which dependency will be used in the end?

These are all the libraries I'm aware of:

1. leapcode/pysqlcipher Python 2.x only

2. rigglemania/pysqlcipher3 fork of (1) with Python 3.x support. What signal-export used until recently.

3. carderne/pysqlcipher3static fork of (2) with binary wheels added

4. coleifer/sqlcipher3 not sure how this relates to (1)

5. laggykiller/sqlcipher3 (sqlcipher3-wheels on PyPI) fork of (4) with binary wheels

I built (3) before I became aware of (5), which was created a few months ago. It has binary wheels for Windows, which are quite tricky to create in this instance. So I switched to that. I have no intention to switch again.

I have no intention to switch again.

Thanks

FYI: as sqlcipher3-wheels uses conan for building, it will be hard to get it working on NixOS. There are two not yet successful lengthy discussions NixOS/nixpkgs#94555 and NixOS/nixpkgs#186570.
