            Bug ID: 260870
           Summary: sqlite3 does not download when the year advances.
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)

Today (Jan 2st, 2022) I wanted to update the sqlite3 package
(/usr/ports/databases/sqlite3).

I found out that the download link in the Makefile points to:
https://www.sqlite.org/${%Y:L:gmtime}/ (as one example, all other links use a
similar construction)

This means it tries to download it from .../2022/... but nothing is there yet,
so the download breaks!



The issue here is that a policy decision at the sqlite makers to use a year in
its links now causes the build of the port to break, example link to the src:
https://www.sqlite.org/2021/sqlite-amalgamation-3370100.zip

So maybe create a list of download mirrors that use the current year AND as
alternative a link with "year-1". Ofcourse still not completely bulletproof but
anyhow better, this scheme also breaks if nothing changes in sqlite3 for at
least a year.

Workaround: Temporary change the Makefile variable MASTER_SITE from
'${%Y:L:gmtime}' to '2022' to get it to work.
