Hi, everybody,
Finally, flamerobin 0.7.2 entered Debian/unstable.
After comments/suggestions from Marius Popa, Tamas Tevesz, Yavor Doganov and Kari Pahula and lots of help from FR/IBPP developers, flamerobin got into the official Debian archive. Actual upload was kindly sponsored by Thijs Kinkhorst.

Help Desk for IIS is a web-based help desk software solution for delivering customer service and support. It easily installs on your web server as an ISAPI extension for Microsoft Internet Information Services. Your customers or technicians need no additional software other than a web browser. All information is stored in a relational database (Firebird), and the web pages themselves are produced by a server-side ISAPI extension.

I’ve been promising the Firebird Tutorial for .NET for a long time.
Now there is a first “beta” version: http://www.firebirdtutorial.net/. I decided to start with the .NET 2.0 topics – a lot of interesting things happen around FirebirdClient 2.0 and there is not much documentation about it (unless you are a fan of mailing list browsing).

Hi, everybody,
After much delay, I’ve finally prepared debian packages of 2.0 branch of firebird. They can be reached at [1]. This is the RC4 release from 13th of August.
These packages conflict with 1.5.3 series, so if you want to give your databases a try (strongly encouraged), backup them with 1.5.3 *before* installing 2.0 packages.
Please give these a hard time testing and don’t forget to send feedback to pkg-firebird-general@lists.alioth.debian.org. Reading Release Notes[2] would help avoiding common problems.

KInterbasDB is a Python extension package that implements Python Database API 2.0-compliant support for the open source relational database Firebird and some versions of its proprietary cousin Borland Interbase. In addition to the minimal feature set of the standard Python DB API, KInterbasDB also exposes nearly the entire native client API of the database engine.
KInterbasDB is free–covered by a permissive BSD-style license that both commercial and noncommercial users should find agreeable.
What’s new in release 3.2?

The connection string to a database should never be hard coded in your application. There is (almost) always a difference between the development and production database server. Besides that IT management should have an easy way to change the configuration.
