Firebird is alive and secure

The following was sent to Charles Babcock at Information week in reply to an article entitled:

Open Source Code Contains Security Holes

As a developer and administrator of the Firebird Project I completely reject the statement you made in the above article.

“The somewhat moribund Firebird project, for example, is listed with 195 identified defects, of which it has verified zero and fixed zero. The active Firefox browser project, on the other hand,
has fixed 370 bugs, verified 56 and faces another 246 to verify and fix.”

Firebird 2.03 on HPUX 11

via Paul Beach’s Blog

I have just released a classic version of Firebird V2.03 for HPUX 11. This is a 64bit version for PA-RISC 2.0. The current install mechanism as per Firebird 1.5.x uses a tar file and scripts to install firebird into /opt/firebird etc. I think the time has now come to try and write a depot file so that we can use the HPUX installer to install firebird.
