[Firebird-website] ppc port is done

[marius p. <ma...@gm...>]

at the bottom of the page there is an ppc port mention
that is already done and the page should be changed
http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php?op=devel&sub=engine

and this page shoud be removed
http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php?op=devel&sub=engine&id=plat_ppc64

the tips can be used for other ports



In general, porting Firebird to Linux/***64/***32 platform will not be
difficult.

   - You need to register the new architecture in the build system and in
   a couple of places in the source code and make sure it builds properly. This
   is a good test by itself, as Firebird uses itself extensively during the
   build process.

   - Then you need to run QMDB and TCS
tests<http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php?op=devel&sub=qa&id=qmtest_howto>and
make sure there are no new regressions. Alignment failures, a.k.a.
   SIGBUS errors, are the most likely problems you'll need to take care of.


also the porting will be changed from what i have seen on devel list

an example for arm port (it's just an sample not the final port)

http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-firebird/2.1.git;a=blob;f=debian/patches/port-arm.patch;h=2e161ba5155e0f43d34fc199b68db8dfa5ddab74;hb=HEAD

and here is another port already included in the cvs head (Mips/mipsel)
http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-firebird/2.0.git;a=blob;f=debian/patches/port-mipsel.patch;h=0f99cab4278467c21347b727b806f47b80bc6ebf;hb=03bf3f72d00ad9da6d705a28fa26eef1cb306eed
