Time for another PSA...
It appears libevdev 0.6 breaks the library's ABI without bumping the
soname (and without an announcement here or anywhere else I can find,
but an ABI change without an soname bump is just flat out wrong whether
announced or not). 0.6 was sent to Rawhide, F19 and F20 simultaneously.
I've been maintaining abi-compliance-checker in Fedora for some time now. Is there a good way to integrate it into the build system so that it would run a diff with the previously released package to check for breakages? It could be treated as informative, not necessarily a failure. It produces a fairly easy to read html report.
I already use it manually to check for abi breakages in packages where upstream doesn't maintain good API/ABI versioning.
I maintain pkgdiff as well and it's pretty cool but only checks diffs between packages and can do it just using the debuginfo package of the two releases.
