Yes, Bob, we would love to have you prepare a YUM install for Firebird. You
understand, of course, that the "enthusiastically easy" nature of YUM
installs depends completely on how well the installation package is
prepared, not in the inherent nature of YUM itself.

We have lots of other volunteer Linux users who are ready to test your
install package. Just let us know when it's ready!

The above is my feeble attempt at humor. But seriously, do you get my point?
