Firebird 2 Beta is out for a long time. It'll be fine to have an ebuild for installation. I've tried to set it up for myself, but I'm not too familiar with firebirds installation procedure and ebuild system itself. If anyone wish for it too and should try...? Thanks.
rc1 now released with source codes, I have built it with glibc 2.4 and gcc 4.1 successful, Can anyone make an ebuild for it?
rc3 has released now. can anyone provide a ebuild for it?
Created an attachment (id=86600) [details] Ebuild for dev-db/firebird (version 2.0.0_rc1) -- EBuild file Ebuild for dev-db/firebird (version 2.0.0_rc1) Description: This is first crack at getting the firebird 2.0 rc1 to install on my machine (it builds and runs fine on my amd64 machine). Files Needed: dev-db/firebird/firebird-2.0.0_rc1.ebuild dev-db/firebird/files/70firebird Known issues: 1. I have not got the documentation files correct. I am just getting all the old documentation files for 1.5.x, and whatever newer PDFs were available on the server. 2. I am not creating the symlinks for pre-1.5 firebirds (look at the script to enable them if you need to. Steps: 1. Copy the firebird-2.0.0_rc1.ebuild file under <PORTDIR_OVERLAY>/dev-db/firebird/ folder. 2. Copy the 70firebird file under <PORTDIR_OVERLAY>/dev-db/firebird/files/ folder (create nessary directories yourself). 3. As root, "cd <PORTDIR_OVERLAY>/dev-db/firebird/". Execute "ebuild firebird-2.0.0_rc1.ebuild digest". 4. Insert line "dev-db/firebird ~amd64" into your /etc/portage/package.keywords" file (assuming you have an amd64 machine, otherwise you probably need ~x86). 5. You should be able to "emerge firebird" now. 6. After emerge, just execute "ebuild firebird-2.0.0_rc1.ebuild config" while you are under the same ebuild folder. 7. Execute "source /etc/profile". 8. Execute "/etc/init.d/firebird start" to start the server. Now "ps -aux | egrep -i 'firebird|fb'" should show that fbguard and fbserver are running. 9. Execute "isql -u sysdba -p masterkey" to get into interactive shell.

rc2 was released, hope this ebuild will be in portage soon
I can't get firebird-2.0.0_rc1 and firebird-2.0.0_rc2 compiled. Always the same error: ../src/jrd/../jrd/../jrd/gds_proto.h:37: warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type ../src/jrd/why.cpp: In function

And RC 3 is also there
Firebird RC4 has arrived too.
Firebird 2.0 is GOLD.
Well, this ebuild shares the same error as firebird-1.5's ebuild of using autogen.sh, it shouldn't: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/autofailure.xml . I'll give it a try on FreeBSD soon.
Created an attachment (id=103511) [details] firebird-2.0.0.12748.ebuild This ebuild is a try to clean it up, but it's far from being working. For once, it sues internal copies of libraries instead of external ones, which is bad.
For who's wondering, the documentation can't be added to SRC_URI because the pdf's are not versioned, and thus could cause digest conflicts between versions. I'm currently trying to build with external icu and libedit, but it will take a bit I'm afraid.
Created an attachment (id=103530) [details] firebird-2.0.0.12748.ebuild This ebuild patches firebird so that it does not use the internal copies of icu and libedit and instead use dev-libs/icu and dev-libs/libedit, which is good. It also avoids using the tarball rule, and instead installs the files by hand, simplifying the src_install() quite a bit. It's still not working though, as it needs to change the initd script (the one installed now is obsolete and not compatible with baselayout anymore), especially to avoid using the /opt/firebird/* symlinks. It could probably be possible to just install it in /usr properly if doing enough work on it.

tfirebir2 have now format of security db. Old names for isc4.gdb or security.fdb. This ebuild convert only old isc4.gdb db and not more commons security.fdb.

2.0.1 is in tree now and currently hard masked, package.mask. To test echo dev-db/firebird >> /etc/portage/package.unmask echo dev-db/firebird >> /etc/portage/package.keywords It will likely be umasked soon. It should be in pretty good shape, but could use more testing and feedback.
It's in tree now and unmasked for further testing and etc. Closing this bug now :) Thanks to all contributors.
