But you can also do: dnf repoquery --releasever=rawhide --refresh --whatrequires "libbrotlicommon.so.1()(64bit)" dnf repoquery --releasever=rawhide --refresh --whatrequires "libbrotlidec.so.1()(64bit)" dnf repoquery --releasever=rawhide --refresh --whatrequires "libbrotlienc.so.1()(64bit)" to find *binary* packages with an auto-generated dependency on the current sonames provided by the library, and: dnf repoquery --releasever=rawhide --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=fedora-source --whatrequires brotli-devel to find all source packages that BuildRequire brotli-devel. > Do I just > make an announcement after uploading with the list of packages that need to > rebuild or is there something else that I need to do first? Read the URL Fabio linked to, but the important thing is, you need to do the announcement *well in advance* of doing the actual build, and ideally come up with a plan for making sure the builds of the dependencies happen on the same day as the build of brotli. Note this is all assuming the new version will actually change the soname - if it doesn't, there's no problem. The current soname in Rawhide is 'libbrotli(whatever).so.1', if that's the same with the new version, all existing packages should continue to work with it without needing to be rebuilt.
