Differences between upstream and the Mandriva package
|
|
=====================================================
|
|
|
|
* All files are installed according to the FHS. Relatively complete
|
|
environment as provided by upstream may be found in %{fbroot}
|
|
|
|
* Firebird utilities gbak,gsec,gfix and nbackup have a symlink in /usr/bin
|
|
In /usr/bin you have also isql-fb symlinked to Firebird isql.
|
|
We can't name it isql to avoid conflict with isql from UNIX-ODBC
|
|
In /usr/bin you have also gstat-fb symlinked to Firebird gstat.
|
|
We can't name it gstat to avoid conflict with gstat from Ganglia.
|
|
|
|
* Mandriva packages do not use, nor contain the pre-supplied sources for
|
|
libicu and libeditline. Mandriva packages are used instead.
|
|
|
|
* The sysdba password is set to masterkey by default. Don't forget to change
|
|
the password after installation with this command :
|
|
gsec -user sysdba -pass masterkey -mo sysdba -pw icuryy4me
|
|
where 'icuryy4me' is the new password
|
|
see : http://www.firebirdsql.org/manual/qsg2-config.html
|
|
|
|
* POSSIBLE INCOMPATIBILITY
|
|
In indices on text-based columns (CHAR/VARCHAR), Firebird uses ICU to get
|
|
binary-comparable sequences (collations). These collations may be different
|
|
in different ICU versions.
|
|
|
|
In Firebird 2.5 upstream always uses the bundled ICU library. Firebird packages
|
|
use the Firebird-packaged libicu*. Unfortunately, this may lead to
|
|
incompatibilities in the binary index representation (on disk) between
|
|
databases created by Mandriva-packaged Firebird, and upstream.
|
|
|
|
This can also lead to incompatibilities when the Firebird packages are
|
|
re-built using different version of the system-wide ICU library
|
|
|
|
One way to fix this is to backup and restore all databases created with ICU
|
|
version different from the one currently installed on the system. Another is
|
|
to re-generate all indices that contain a text-based columns.
