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!
They - rsp. the maintainers of dependent packages - (usually) will notice very soon, because they'll receive an email notifying them about the breakage.


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.
