Firebird version 2.5 is absolutely out of date. Version 4 was released 1 June 2021... So packages like 'filebird3' and 'firebird4' are very actual - please help to make PKGBUILD for them.

@p2n please read https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites

Please, add to PKGBUILD

makedepends=('autoconf' 'automake')

I would prefer a separate firebird 3 package. Version 2.5.* and 3+ differ in some situations and some old queries/statements don't work with 3+.

Could you please update firebird to version 3? Vesion 2.5 is useless today. Some help steps I found here http://oldblog.antiphasis.net/2019/04/12/installing-firebird-3-on-archlinux/ but it is not an AUR native package.

Thanks for maintaining this package! I install this version with yay. Have some issue with this version - fbserver not reads /etc/firebid/aliases.conf whene i try access to a databse by alias. strace show that fbserver trying open /usr/lib/firebird/aliases.conf that does not exists. So access by alias doesn't work, but access with full pathname work fine. If create symlink /usr/lib/firebird/aliases.conf to /etc/firebird/aliases.conf its work.

Second issue are not worked run firebird.service with systemd (simialar as write mamrezzo 2018-05-20). I found some solution - change firebird.service file (https://www.sql.ru/forum/1283326/firebird-3-0-2-v-centos-7-zapusk-i-ostanov-sluzhby-s-pomoshhu-systemctl-proishodit-medlenno), my changed lines in firebird.service:

Type=simple
#Type=forking 
#PIDFile=/run/firebird/default.pid
Environment=LD_PRELOAD=libfbclient.so.2
#ExecStart=/usr/lib/firebird/bin/fbguard -pidfile /run/firebird/default.pid -daemon -forever
ExecStart=/usr/lib/firebird/bin/fbserver

It is only working solution, but with limitations (not used fbguard).

Thank you very much, crank! (and no worries, it's my own fault for not backing up files in the first place)

crank commented on 2018-08-20 13:09 (UTC)

So I removed the libio.h include from perf.h because it seems to be unused. And thanks to fuan_k's sarcastic hint, /etc/firebird/{firebird,fbtrace,aliases}.conf will now be backed up. Always very pleasent, thanks ;)

If icu gets an update, it is necessary to recompile firebird. Feel free to drop me a message if you know a workaround.

Thank you all and sorry for any inconvenience.

Thanks sascha234. I actually changed 'libio.h' to 'stdio.h' and it compiled just fine. I hope the maintainer will take the time to add the following line to the PKGBUILD prepare() section (or do as you mentioned, whichever is best):

sed -i '35s/libio.h/stdio.h/' src/jrd/perf.h

Side note: always very pleasant to see reinstalling the package wiped all my configuration files. :(

sascha234 commented on 2018-08-19 20:50 (UTC)

Regarding the libio.h issue you cat add the following line to the PGKBUILD prepare() section: sed -i '35s/.*/ /' src/jrd/perf.h

It removes the libio.h header from file perf.h. After that the makepkg compiles the package successfully.
