Once again, folks, *please* announce your soname bumps, and

Is it time to update the packaging guidelines to enforce setting a
"%global sover <X>" and using it in %files?
If nothing else it should at least be documented as a best practice.
I would be very opposed to this.
Even though some folks want rawhide to appear a release, rawhide is
not a release. So SONAME breakages are expected to happen in rawhide
and maintainers supposed to be reacted upon.
Yes, if they notice!
AFAICT, those "broken deps in rawhide" mails are only sent if there is a compose, and during the past weeks, there have been few of those ... so breakage is sometimes allowed to sit unnoticed (and grow increasingly worse) for very long.
This is why I would be strongly in favor of adding something like "Packagers MUST NOT use globs in %files lists that cover up sonames of shared libraries in %{_libdir}" to the Packaging Guidelines.
