i have seen this patch for arm/debian
maybe it should be added to the main tree (or at least add the new id)

http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-firebird/2.1.git;a=blob;f=debian/patches/port-arm.patch;h=2e161ba5155e0f43d34fc199b68db8dfa5ddab74;hb=HEAD

Also we should discuss the next id's for these architectures
http://buildd.debian.org/pkg.cgi?pkg=firebird2.0

I've been in contact with a guy who was making a port. For that moment lock
manager on ARM did not work correctly - it was randomly failing (races ???).
I have never received any message stating that this was fixed. As long as
people need single-user access, firebird on arm works for them. May be it's
even OK for cellular phones (as far as I know, ARM9 is used in them). But I'm
not sure, should we add such ports to main tree or not.

If someone can confirm firebird working on ARM correctly, I have no problems
adding that port.

I think we should better think about changing the whole idea of
CLASS_FREEBSD_AMD64 naming schema. We must have separate entry for operating
system and separate - for HW architecture. This will greatly decrease number
of required manually supported classes. This may be done in ODS12.

Hi,

It was I who spent time last Spring/Summer working on this. And I would
very much like to see the current efforts (in particular, the CLASS_xxx)
incorporated into the main tree.

After playing with various GCC versions / options, the lock manager did
  appear to function (without locking up). Although I did not create a
HUGE load ... so it is possible that there is still a some hidden problem.

I am already in the process of buying another Buffalo LinkStation
(running Debian Etch 'FreeLink') and will begin working with Firebird
again very soon.

Best Regards,
Alan.

I think the best way to solve any problems with the port would be to commit the
patch. There are a many different posix ARM implementations out there and it
would be a easier for developers to collaborate if there was some code in CVS.

I'm waiting for a tree to be tagged - not to add more problems to Dmitry.

Yes arm is the main cpu used in phones and embedded area
http://www.linuxdevices.com/files/article077/embedded_processor_current_trend.jpg
So with the arm port we will have top 4 cpu used in linux embedded

Hi All,

I would very much appreciate if these files could be added to the main
tree. (Then I would continue to develop them.)

When I checked out the CVS firebird2 module today, they weren't yet present.

Thanks and Regards,
Alan.
