The problem is with lazy upstream developers who do not update these "marks" *at all* when they made a change.
Do they need any additional and enhanced tools which will make the desired tag (or SONAME) maintenance more convenient and safe?
We have tools. The "libabigail" package has utilities to find incompatibilities. They are especially useful for languages with complex symbol names, for example as they occur with C++. The problem is that developers just don't do anything about it even if they knew about the existence of these tools.
Would any consistent usage of RPM capabilities help in such use cases? https://docs.fedoraproject.org/ro/Fedora_Draft_Documentation/0.1/html/RPM_Gu...
No. Those are just freeform strings that serve no purposes with regard to ABI compatibility. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
