-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Mentors,
First, an introduction. firebird2 packages need a recompile due to C++ ABI transition (#317314). Current version is 1.5.1-4. Its codebase has problems compiling both with gcc-3.4 and 4.0 I've decided to package 1.5.2, which is the upstream's solid-rock-stable from long time ago. 1.5.2 compiles happily (besides several tons of warnings) with gcc-3.4, but not with 4.0. So I stick with gcc-3.4 Upstream's oppinion on using 4.0 is basiccaly "dont use the last compiler, it has bugs". I know they're wrong, but the only way of proving it is by providing the patches, which I can't do. The next major release (2.0) looks more promising to compile with 4.0. Unfortunatelly, it is still in alpha. Now, the request. Since firebird is a beast to package (it produces 9 binary packages, 2 of which are shared libraries), and since everybody in the firebird-packaging group[1] seems either busy or on vacation, I'll need a sponsor to do the upload. However, before asking for sponsorship, I'd like to ask you to give me your comments on packaging. Source/binary packages are available on ftp://212.36.1.2/public/pool/main/f/firebird2 Upstream source can be downloaded from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/firebird/firebird-1.5.2.4731.tar.bz2 Note that due to dpkg-source in sid not supporting .tar.bz2 upstream tarballs yet, the orig.tar.gz is repackaged. Your comments are very much welcome. dam [1] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-firebird-general/ - -- Damyan Ivanov 0x9725F63B Creditreform Bulgaria [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.creditreform.bg/ phone: +359(2)928-2611, 929-3993 fax: +359(2)920-0994 mob. +359(88)856-6067 ICQ 3028500 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/Gaim -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDEvlAHqjlqpcl9jsRAhTLAJ4g4jwfUxJKO5leiJeakFA3H6bQUwCgnOUE MIBSKKrCjWcBo2ZzJGbtl9g= =Q25K -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
