Hello Grzegorz,

Would you be so kind to sponsor php4-interbase_4.3.6-2 ?

It can be found at this location:
http://217.114.97.127/debian/php4-interbase/

It solves a release critical bug (268931) as we discussed.

This is the changelog:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

php4-interbase (4.3.6-2) unstable; urgency=medium (solves a RC bug)

  * Build against firebird2 libs. Firebird1 is no longer in sarge
    and there would be no way of rebuilding. Closes: #268931
  * Added shlibs.local and depend on libfirebird2 to prevent silent
    breaking with firebird1
  * Build-Conflicts with firebird-dev
  * Documenting the situation in README.Debian
  * The package is also configuring apache2 and cli SAPI now.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

And this is the new README.Debian:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
php4-interbase module for firebird and interbase.

The current version has been compiled against libraries
from the 1.5.x series called firebird2 in sarge.

It was no longer possible to support firebird 1.0.x in
sarge due to security issues. See:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=251458

If you really need the firebird 1.0.x series for sarge
and are prepared to deal with the security issues you can
find unofficial firebird 1.0.3 here:
http://snapshot.debian.net/package/firebird

unofficial php4-interbase 4.3.6-1 work with them:
http://snapshot.debian.net/package/php4-interbase/

We are planning to put something as well on:
http://firebird.debian.net/

But you are much better off with the firebird 1.5.x series.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Cheers,
Remco.
