Since I helped Mandriva to do their packages for Firebird, I jumped and with Michal, we made things happen
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.

Firebird code analysed by new C++ tool

May 28, 2008 Cantu Leave a comment

A good usage of C, C++ and similar languages involves using the language in a disciplined manner, such that the hazards brought by their weaknesses and more error-prone features are minimized. To that end, it is common to require that code rely only on a well-defined subset of the language, following a set of coding rules. GGCC is a free tool that can be used to analyze code.

Firebird (and some other open source projects) were analyzed and experimental results can be seen here.
