Cannot get TOOLS.JAR

I recently changed my Linux distro from OpenSuse 12 to Linux Mint 13 - 
OpenSuse was "broken".

I need to get the tools.jar to build my docs and I've found that the URL 
given in the read me is "forbidden 403". I'm attempting to go to 
http://www.firebirdsql.org/doclibs/.

I can wget the ALLTOOLS.ZIP file but I can't seem to get on with a 
browser to see what the tools.zip filename actually  is. Wildcards on 
wget are not working.

Similar problems exist with http://www.firebirdsql.org/doctools/.

Cheers,
Norm.

Firebird 2.5.2 stable for all Ubuntu releases is uploaded into ppa

http://www.firebirdnews.org/?p=7981

I recommend Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and 12.10 or Oneiric

The other are builded but with some modifications to the Debian scripts

ps:I give some examples of modifications for Lucid and Hardy in the
debian scripts
http://jimicompot.blogspot.ro/2012/11/firebird-252-for-ubuntu-lucid-is.html
http://jimicompot.blogspot.ro/2012/11/firebird-252-on-ubuntu-hardy.html

Hardy it will be EOL soon in April so the next Firebird release it
will be skipped
(it doesn't support the quilt 3.0 format and and is hardest to build for )

XML Mind Editor - no personal Edition any more

 From September 2012, the XML Mind Editor that we know and love, the 
Personal Edition, is no more. I've just had news through about the 
latest upgrade which now only offers a Professional and an Evaluation 
versions.

I've downloaded and tried the evaluation version, and while it works 
fine as an editor, it doesn't convert documents to PDF, for example, 
correctly any more. I know this isn't a problem for us as we use an ANT 
script or two to do the actual builds, but, worse than this, the 
evaluation version expires after 30 days.

I have the Personal Edition version 5.0.0 which is fine for editing (and 
doesn't offer any conversion facilities at all) and will not expire.

I also have version 5.2.1 as well - From May 2012, which I've not yet 
upgraded to, but a quick test and a scan of the changes in that version 
don't appear to show anything we might not like - it doesn't add XML 
Mind banners or anything to the saved files.

We might need to determine the version we should (all) be using and then 
save a copy of the install kit in amongst the tools folder, just in case 
we get new Doc writers who cannot find or download the Editor.

Equally, the XSL-FO Conversion utility that I used to use to convert XML 
documents, also from XML Mind, has lost the Personal Edition too.

Cheers,
Norm.

Upload server problems?

As part of an annual (or thereabouts) laptop tidy up, I've had a clean 
out and full re-installation of everything.

As part of the checks that it all just worked, I attempted to connect to 
the upload site:

I am pretty sure I have to SSH as norman <at> www.firebirdsql.org and I have 
sent my public key (and has restored it after the rebuild) but I keep 
getting a "man in the middle attack" warning and a message telling me 
that the entry in ~/.ssh/known_hosts has changed.

I can SSH to www-data <at> 78.47.172.253 but I cannot for the life of me, 
remember the password. I never had it to be honest, always relying on 
the SSH key pair to login.

I can still access the CMS without any problems.

Could someone please remind an old man what he's doing wrong! Thanks.

Cheers,
Norm.

PS. I did check back through all my emails, no passwords mentioned on 
the SSH matter, just a request for my public key.

typo on isql.html

Hi,

I found a small typo

page
http://www.firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/reference_manuals/user_manuals/html/isql-transactions.html

in :
SQL> SET TRANSACTION;

In Firebird 2.0 the SET TRANSACTION statement has been enhanced to
support all Transaction Parameter Buffer(TPB)options. These include:

    NO AUTO UNDONE

    IGNORE LIMBO

    LOCK TIMEOUT <number>

Example:

SET TRANSACTION WAIT SNAPSHOT NO AUTO UNDONE LOCK TIMEOUT 10;

should be "NO AUTO UNDO" and not "NO AUTO UNDONE"

cheers,

Philippe
