Users of Opensuse 10.0,10.1,10.3 and future 11.0 but also SLE 10 can now just use the server:database repository and get Firebird 2.0.4
As soon as the Firebird Project will publish Firebird 2.1.1, packages will be there too.

I’ll commit the DocBook sources to the repository and build a version for publication. After that, I’ll start working on update refs for 2.0 and 2.1. After that, I guess we must take the 2.1 ref and start expanding it to a complete Firebird SQL reference. This last step may take some time 😉 Read more
