Okay, I haven't heard anything back about this, and I've just noticed that there's a vulnerability in firebird. http://securityfocus.com/bid/7546/info/ http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=9028&atid=109028&func=detail&aid=739480 I guess it's not huge, because it's only locally exploitable, but obviously any vulnerability is a bad vulnerability... According to popcon, there's only 24 installations of it, if I'm reading it right. Should we yoink it altogether, or prepare a QA upload? It's not in woody. regards Andrew
