Adel,
I did this once. It took a few iterations to get it right, but basically, I
installed the RPM source (RPM -Uvh qt-xxx.src.rpm), went to the SPEC
directory (/usr/src/redhat/SPEC), and modified the qt.spec file. I would
append you initials, plus an attempt number to the release number, to
identify this as your package, but preserve the versioning, so the package
managers will tell you about newer versions.
Basically, you want to find the entries for mysql, and duplicate them for
firebird (actually, to qt, the plugin flag is called -plugin-sql-ibase).
Thus using the mysql sections as a template, use the sections below for
firebase. Note that I last did this for QT-3.3.3, and the sections below are
from that version. Your milage may vary. Also note, the QT firebird support
was not completely functional. I don't recall the differences, but is was
not as smooth as say the mysql support.
Good luck,
