always presented.
002 ==> 160740 : Handbook says that libgphoto2 is required but does
not say whether it should be compiled with exif support.

while I welcome a new digikam  release, I think that integrating sqlite3 is a
backward step.  If a security  fix is made to sqlite3, digikam will not benefit
from it until it is re-released.

Is it possible to disable the embedded version when building digikam from
source?

As a general rule products should not embed other libraries, as it bloats the
source code and introduces insecurity, as well as making more work for
developers.

And this is not the case. For ex, look in Qt for example libpng is
included like qslite3... and this not make a problem.

We don't have any way to control fine witch sqlite3 version used to
compile digiKam. We want a suitable program. This is the only solution
found.

Also, digiKam do not provide a new sqlite3 program. We compile it with
the source code of shared libs. that all.

The source code of sqlite is the same that the official package. if a
security issue is found, we can just update source code and _validate_
the version included.

For KDE4, another way is done : we use QT4::SQLite plugin... which is
also compiled with a dedicated libsqlite version embeded in the
library...

Note : Amarok also include libsqlite3 source code...
