To make migration easier for openSUSE/SLE users, I created package
compat-firebird25 with modified paths so that it doesn't collide
with standard FB3 packages and can be installed alongside them. It
installs only a minimal set of files needed to access local database
files in embedded mode and back them up to be restored by FB3 gbak.
It also provides a simple script to migrate a database either via
a pipe (gbak25 | gbak30) or using an intermediate file.
The idea of using a backup file rather than platform and version
dependent database file in LibreOffice sounds like the right solution,
as far as I can say.
