I initially got abi-compliance-checker into Fedora because one of my packages does not maintain any sort of API/ABI compatibility or even versioning for that matter. That way I could always check a new release to see if any of its dependencies needed to be rebuilt.

Since then, I've started using it for all of my libraries in the spirit of "Trust but verify", and I've occasionally found issues even though upstream didn't bump the soversion.

So out of curiosity, anyone else using this great tool?

If anyone is curious about it, I don't mind typing up the process I go through to make the checks. I think I've found a pretty good path of least resistance method :)

Thanks,

Richard
