[pkg-firebird-general] Bug#549062: firebird 2.0 pending obsoletion

[Damyan Ivanov]

Package: firebird2.0
Version: 2.0.5.13206-0.ds2-4
Severity: serious

I intent to phase firebird2.0 out of the archive. firebird2.5 is to be released 
soon, and having three versions in squeeze is too much. Even in 2.5 doesn't 
make it to squeeze, the current recommended version is 2.1, which makes it 
pointless to support 20 for another release cycle.

I am filing the bug to let people know about the intention.

Also, some bugs shall be filed against packages build-depending on 
firebird2.0-dev, to make them build-depend on firebird2.1-dev or even 
firebird2.5-dev (if it is available at the time). Blocking this bug on them 
will help keeping the progress under control.

Presently, the following packages build-depend on firebird2.0-dev:

 - flamerobin (uploaded today with B-D of firebird2.1-dev)
 - gambas2
 - gnugk
 - python-kinterbasdb
 - qt4-x11
