[UVFe] Import firebird2.0 2.0.3.12981.ds1-1 from Debian unstable (main)

+1 from me

Ack from me too. Approved.

This package gonna FTBFS on some archs (like sparc and ia64, in debian too[1]), so we need to find out a fix for this, turning this into a merge. Bug assigned to Luca Falavigna.

[1] http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?arch=&pkg=firebird2.0

Debian package provide port-ia64.patch, which should fix ia64 FTBFS. It is not enabled because Debian Maintainer decided not to enable anymore:
 firebird2.0 (2.0.1.12855.ds1-6) unstable; urgency=low

   * Upload to unstable
     + Stop applying patches for unofficial ports
       (arm, hppa, mips, mipsel, ia64)
     + Update autoboot.patch

Anyway, if we look at http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/pool/f/firebird2.0/binary-ia64/Packages.gz, we see ia64 binary packages have been built (at least 2.0.1.12855.ds1-5 did), so it should ok to enable that patch again.

Regarding sparc FTBFS, Andrea checked on sparky and it should be ok now.

Uploading it.

luca, it seems something went wrong on this package while applying patches causing a FTBFS on all archs. Assigning it to you again to find out a fix for this.
Good work.

unsubsribing u-u-s, I'll follow luca on this and sponsor him when a new debdiff will be provided.

forgot to say that it keeps FTBFS on sparc, just tested on sparky. (works on debian but not in ubuntu). Luca can you try to find out a fix for this too?

I looked into filing an UVFe for firebird2.0 too, but it failed building on amd64 for me.

You might also want to look on bug #135756 when preparing the next upload.

I attach a new debdiff, which fixes previous FTBFS errors and disables sparc build because it requires a porting work in order to be successfully built. amd64 build was fine on my PPA, so it should be ok to upload it.

Uploaded. For now we can keep sparc disabled until we find a good solution to re-enable it in the near future. At least we fix the FTBFS in all archs of firebird2.0 2.0.3.12981.ds1-1ubuntu1 revision. Luca please investigate Bug #135756 and provide a debdiff in case is needed to fix that issue. Thanks for your work.

It keeps FTBFS on some ports, but I will manage this issue separately.
