I have a great news for you. 🙂 I’ve got offer from Paul Beach to
continue with developement of NETProvider as lead and maintaining it
etc. I’ve accepted and I’ve got some privileges to do the “maintaining
work”. So the project isn’t dead. I hope we’ll kick-up the FB & .NET.

I’ve uploaded tarballs of the current libdbi and libdbi-drivers cvs
versions. Both will identify themselves as 0.8.3-pre1. I intend to
release them as 0.8.3 shortly, unless someone finds showstoppers.

I have just finished writing a depot install for Firebird Classic 2.0x on HPUX . A depot install is the HP equivalent of a Linux rpm or Solaris package. The operating system install uninstall utilities take command of looking after the files. Although in more complex areas you still have to have the relevant postinstall and postremove scripts to handle things like links etc.
Today I put the finishing touches to a native 64bit port of Firebird for MacOS 10.5 (Leopard).
This required the following changes to the Firebird 2.1 code base (B2_1_Release). For anybody else considering adding a new platform to Firebird then you may find this useful.
I’ve downloaded the latest 2.0.3 Firebird Server for Solaris 10 SPARC,
installed it and had some minor troubles to make it run.
