Annoucements about Firebird oficial releases.
Firebird 2.1.2 Ubuntu packages with security patches applied
I have updated my repository with the security patches (it’s the same source package from karmic/debian that includes the security fixes) , I still have to finish to create the dapper ones (need to create an kvm machine for it)
I also deleted the old Feisty and Gutsy packages from repository (EOL releases and you must upgrade to the supported ones)
Firebird 2.1.2 Changes in Ubuntu Karmic and Debian
New packages for Ubuntu karmic and debian unstable are released with security and bug fixes
Here is the change log for the firebird2.1 (2.1.2.18118-0.ds1-4) package in Ubuntu Karmic and Debian Unstable and Testing :
* add patch from upstream CVS fixing denial of service (daemon crash)
via a malformed op_connect_request message (CVE-2009-2620)
Closes: #539478. Thanks to Giuseppe Iuculano
* rules: disable parallel MAKE
the targets are now chained so no simultaneous satisfaction of classic and
super build can commence. also, upstream sources aren’t to be made in
parallel so pass -j1
Closes: #538870. Thanks to Bastian Blank

Linux/s390x support for Firebird 2.1.2
Dan Horák wrote on firebird devel list:
I am a Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux developer and we are now
porting whole Fedora package collection to the s390x (IBM System z a.k.a
mainframe) architecture. The official sources for Firebird (in version
2.1.2) didn’t support this architecture, so I have prepared a patch that
adds this support. Please let me know what else should I do to get the
support accepted into the official source tree.
the patch was uploaded to
