Here is the my MOTU journey.

My to do is :

  1. package an new version for ibwebadmin-2.0 (ibwebadmin is now removed from the debian and ubuntu so i have to add it back [Done is in revu]
  2. backport firebird 2.1 for ubuntu stable releases (see the security bugs for 1.5 and 2.0)
  3. backport firebird2.0 for dapper/feisty (firebird 1.5 is removed from debian/ubuntu - security issue)

Small Notes

  • 1.lintian wanted -$(MAKE) distclean in the hello rules file to be changed to [ ! -f Makefile ] || $(MAKE) distclean 2.Hello 2.2 is now available in the gutsy repository. So download Hello 2.2 instead. 3.There are some hard bugs to kill like the ones about /var/run/firebird/2.0 file missing in firebird2.0 hardy/gutsy package
