Initial feedback, per another post of mine. I am looking to separate out the stuff in extern and package that on its own. I already had btyacc and libtommath. I packaged libtomcrypt. I think the system btyacc no longer works as its from upstream and the one in Firebird has seen some changes since.
For me separate packaging of libtom* libraries present in FB tree appears strange. They were added first of all to make happy windows where that libraries are missing and (as far as I know) no good way to install them separately. Upstream for this libraries seems to be alive. In a case of regular linux build of FB that sources from extern are not used. One can build with builtin libtom* but this is not recommended way to go. 'Official' binaries of FB3 need libtomcrypt to be installed using OS tools. Moreover: libtomcrypt is not brought in sync with upsream, all files except builds-control-related are 6 years old, i.e. like they were imported.
