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

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?
I'm not using abi-compliance-checker by itself but through the pkgdiff wrapper.
Starting with 1.6 version of pkgdiff if you compare debug packages and
add --details option on the command line then the tool will
automatically run abi-dumper to dump ABI of old and new shared objects
found in the packages and then compare them by the
abi-compliance-checker tool.
I agree this tool is very helpful.
