retitle 151052 RFP: firebird2 -- New Firebird RDBMS (InterBase derivat.) thanks My area of interest changed since I filled this ITP. Now I sure that I am going somewhere else than before. You can pick up this (now) RFP if you want to maintain a new version of really great RDBMS. Firebird 1 is a DFSG-free (MPL-like) derivative of Interbase 6 beta code. That version is proven to be stable and usable in mission-critical applications. But the number of changes was limited to get from beta quality to stable version and currently it was on maintenance version (altough the only one released as stable). Firebird 2 contains much improvements over FB1 (along with switch to C++) and is a project that starts to live its own live. It's is meant to be still mostly compatible w/ IB6 where possible but the changes which have been needed to get more - make it all new, shiny and separete being. You can find more informations at http://firebird.sf.net along with testing version of Firebird 2. Please take a look at fb-devel list to get more informations. HTH Grzegorz B. Prokopski PS: I am also the original packager and maintainer of Firebird 1.0 debian packages. If for some reason you wanted badly to maintain this package - try to convince me why and I'll hand it to you. PSS: Due to lack of permanent (in the meaning: everyday) internet connection - I am unsubscribed from almost all the lists. Please Cc: me on replies. Thanks! -- Grzegorz B.
