Hi Jos, seems fine to me; I'd say go for it!

Hi,
I received a user request to update eccodes, see:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1850633
Currently EPEL7 and EPEL8 have version 2.14 that was published by
upstream last October.
The latest upstream version is 2.18 and is, as far as I can tell fully
backwards compatible with 2.14.
However, it does contain a number of bug-fixes and additions.
When I look at the update pol;icy:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/GuidelinesAndPolicies#Some_examples_of_what_package_updates_that_are_fine_or_not
then my guess would be that it is okay to perform this update, since the
update is in my eyes minor.
The update policy on this page mentions ABI compatibility but does not
mention what to do if an ABI change is backward compatible.
So since knowing is better than guessing, before putting effort in to
this, I would like to ask on this mailing list if my interpretation is
correct.
Jos de Kloe.
