Hi,
Firebird 3.0.1 is released, I can upgrade the package in Fedora, I have a Copr repo with it : https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/makowski/firebird/
The problem is that Firebird 3 don't provide anymore fbembed lib, they put all in firebird lib.
For Mageia, to don't disturb LibreOffice, I created a new package for fbembed, I think it is the easiest way, unless LibreOffice whant to build with Firebird 3.
Under Mageia, the change in LibreOffice was then : [packages] Diff of /cauldron/libreoffice/current/SPECS/libreoffice.spec http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/libreoffice/current/SPECS/libreoffice.spec?r1=997169&r2=1000060
and here the new package fbembed : http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/fbembed/current/
Any thought ? any one to jump to create fbembed ?

Actually, I think I'll disable firebird support in libreoffice again. I enabled it at some point in the past because I foolishly thought it's about to replace hsqldb as the embedded DB format soon. But that has never happened, for good reasons (one of them is that the file format is endian-dependent). There was an attempt to update the firebird dependency to 3.0--and to change the format to some other one supported by that version--during this year's GSoC, but hsqldb is going to stay for the foreseeable future, so it's better to ignore firebird. Especially as it's only avaiable in libreoffice if experimental features are enabled...

As you want, but in case, it's easy to create a fbembed package (with
firebird 2.5) if you need it
