[QGIS-Developer] 3.40 mac binary version of qgis spuriously writing geopackage files, old sqlite3?

[Greg Troxel]

Sorry, I confused macports and homebrew.  I see that qgis is pointing to
macports (and there's the caution not to install both, probably because
they use the same prefix).

The warning text at

  https://qgis.org/download/  macos section

is

  ⚠️ QGIS versions for macOS notice

  The QGIS installers for macOS are currently outdated and may not
  reflect the latest version shown in QGIS notifications. We are
  actively working to update the macOS packages. If you need newer
  features or fixes, please consider installing QGIS via MacPorts. Thank
  you for your patience and understanding.

which doesn't mention "dependencies from 2021".


Something else which I've always found awkward is that the installater
is

  https://qgis.org/downloads/macos/qgis-macos-ltr.dmg

which seems to have variable content.  For caching, for clarifyt, and
for reproducing a specific install on a new computer, I would far rather
see this be:

  https://qgis.org/downloads/macos/qgis-macos-3.40.5.dmg

and just have the link in the page changed.



As another random comment, I find

  "Download QGIS for your platform"

followed by

  windows stuff

and then

  "Other Platforms"

to be strange.  I would expect the title to be just

  "Download QGIS"

and then a "Windows" section, just like the other platform sections,
with no "other platforms" header.   That's very windows-normative!
