Hi, thanks for your remark. I am aware of one single other package that uses this lib, for which I am the maintainer myself. The updates policy for rawhide says: > A week in advance, notify maintainers who depend on their package to > rebuild when there are abi/api changes that require rebuilds in other > packages or offer to do these rebuilds for them. Actually I don't know how to find out if there are others. I could not find an easy tool/method in the collection of fedora packaging tools/websites to do a query for other packages that have a BR on this library.
