We write code because is fun and is good to learn something new.
Thouse tools are for money and don't work on all platforms :linux,os-x,
bsd, solaris .From what i know.

The same was said about linux and look at it now , On servers nothing
can beat it (check top500 of supercomputers). And is ready for desktop
fight too (take a look at ubuntu, or mandriva)

I invest my time in learning firebird code too , and for c++ development
flamerobin source code is a better starting place to play with.
Firebird needs an crossplatform administration tool (open source)

like postgresql have it http://www.pgadmin.org/ also mysql is working
for one http://www.mysql.com/products/query-browser/

FlameRobin - why?

MG> Nice work that you are doing! But please may you tell me why

please read the first 5 lines of our home page at
http://www.flamerobin.org/ and you'll see that what we are building
doesn't exist yet. You have probably missed them, so I am pasting here
the relevant part for your convenience:

Our goal is to build a tool that is:
- lightweight (small footprint, fast execution)
- cross-platform (Linux, Windows for start, others planned too)
- dependant only on other open source software

MG> Before you write a software that (I AM SORRY TO SAY THAT!)

MG> project (the database itself).

Thank you for your comments. I certainly know a handful of people that
do need FlameRobin, and they are all being CC'd in this message. :-)
So your assumption is wrong, even without counting the thousands of
downloads the project has had so far.

Let us know if you need any further clarification.
Ciao

FreeBSD port - warnocked


i'm considering to make a FreeBSD port of FlameRobin. I'd like to know if
there are any FreeBSD users reading this list?

Thanx.

P.S. A port to Solaris seems also doable (FB and wx work), but I don't have
Solaris (or Sparc hardware) around, so it'll have to wait for contributors.

wxFormDesigner

On the mailing list Milan wrote:

Lately I have been testing wxFormBuilder. It is a very good wxWidgets
GUI dialog builder. It is written in C++ and works on Windows and Linux.
The tools seems really stable and robust. It has nicer code generation
than wxGlade, much closer to what we use in FR. I supports
wxFlexGridSizer, a really important one.

I really recommend it for anyone who's writing new dialogs for FR. It is
good to setup the dialog initially, and later just add styleguide() stuff.

sourcemage distro bumped flamerobin version

They updated from flamerobin 0.2.0 to 0.2.5
is nice that we are included in at least one distro

It would be nice if flamerobin will be added in debian
I don't promise anything ...

Friday, June 03, 2005

Alternative forum for flamerobin.org is created

Is an alternative to mailing list hosted on sf.net (it will not replace it)
Some people like to post/read on forums.

[Update: forum is gone maybe someday we will move to phpbb3 under an firebird general forum
please use the list for the moment]

FlameRobin V0.2.5 Alpha is available for download

FlameRobin V0.2.5 Alpha is available for download. For more details, read the release notes. FlameRobin is an open source, lightweight and cross-platform GUI administration and management tool for Firebird.
