Folks:

1) There is a new list available at http://mers.com/mailman/listinfo/
called ib-build which is about how to build InterBase from the source.
It is empty an in need of messages.

2) The above mentioned group is mirrored in the news server new.mers.com
and the group is mers.interbase.build .

3) There is a public CVS server (cvs is a source control system) that
now holds the InterBase source in it.

READ ONLY Access is via :

UserName : anonymous
Password : interbase

The CVS stuff for it is:

-d :pserver:anonymous@...:/repository

If you get hassled by the cvs.mers.com you can use:

-d :pserver:anonymous@...:/repository


There are several modules:

interbase - the interbase source with a misc. directory containing the
contents of codes.xxx

tools - marion source + marion.ddl

ibconsole - ibconsole - a couple of units that are being worked on...

interclient - interclient source - there are two subdirectorys under
this one, 16 and 20 for version 1.6 and 2.0 of interclient

ibx - empty until the source appears....


4) If you need info on how to use cvs, please go to
http://www.cyclic.com for more info, the software and links to other cvs
sources...

5) There is a private email address ibbuild@... for those who want
changes made to the archives.... We maybe allowing checkin access in the
future.

The InterBase list server, and the whole cvs thing is going to have to
run on autopilot after late sunday morning as I will be out of town
until next friday..

What I am hoping for is the community to pull together to solve the
build problems so we can move on to other more interesting things. So
post/send in your solutions...

keep smiling and have fun
