I have uploaded packages of Firebird from the R2_5_0
tag in SVN to Debian/experimental. No guarantees these will match the official release, but may be worth a try for those who want to live on the edge.
Short guide of installing packages from the experimental branch is available here.
Great news: Firebird 2.5 final release is being prepared.
The Firebird team is pleased to announce that kits for field-testing the third release candidate for Firebird 2.5 are now available. The 32-bit and 64-bit kits are available for Linux, along with 32-bit kits for Windows and 64-bit for the MacOSX/Darwin Intel platform. The missing kits for 64-bit Windows and 32-bit MacOSX are still in QA and will follow shortly.
Please test well and report any bugs directly to the firebird-devel list (click HERE if you are not subscribed). Please do not post questions about this pre-release version to the firebird-support list.
If you want to test recent commits on Linux or Windows you can download from the snapshots area
Backup location for linux Builds (64-bit only) are available from Sergey Mereutsa’s spaceship
