The Samba FSRVP server changes present in openSUSE 13.2 are currently
undergoing review for acceptance in the upstream Samba repository.

One of the changes needed to have the patchset accepted upstream is to use IDL
for the marshalling and unmarshalling of FSRVP server state database
(srv_fss.tdb) entries, instead of tdb_pack()/tdb_unpack().

Making such a change is quite straightforward, however it means that there will
be a change in the on disk format. With the tdb_pack()/tdb_unpack() based
format (version 0) released in openSUSE, we'll have to carry a SUSE specific
patch to handle upgrades from the old version to the new IDL based format
(version 1).

The upgrade patch will only be needed when we rebase against the upstream FSRVP
server implementation.
