Hi all,
i recently decide to use CentOS 4.1 and i find out that there isn't a Firebird RPM. So, i volunteer to make and maintain Firebird RPM's for the CentOS.
Currently i am working ( among others ) in IBPhoenix www.ibphoenix.com, which provides commercial support for the Firebird and Interbase RDBMS's, and i participate as an administrator on the Firebird Project www.firebirdsql.org.
If you agree, can you inform me with the procedures i need to follow to accomplish that ?
Regards,

Are there any SRPMS ... I see an i686 RPM from the http://firebird.sourceforge.net website but no SRPMS.
If you have access to an SRPM, I would be glad to build and host the RPMS in the Extras section for CentOS-4.
Hi Johnny,

AFAIK, there isn't any ...
If you have access to an SRPM, I would be glad to build and host the RPMS in the Extras section for CentOS-4.
Ok, how is this going to work ? I will build the SRPMS or RPMS ? I will send it to someone for inclusion or i will put it my self to Extras ?

We can do it one of several ways ... the easiest of which is like the main process.
If you can make an SRPM that you can build and test so that it works, and if you can host it somewhere that I can check it, I have an autobuilder that will build it when it changes.
(I do that for php5, xfce, apt, xfs, jfs, etc. in extras already)
If you can't host the SRPM externally, we can put it in a location on the CentOS server and allow you to update it there.
I would like us to build the RPMS on our controlled version boxes so no external requires get in.
We would have to release the SRPM as well as the RPMS ...
