I wonder if Fedora should have a way of saying “this release breaks ABI, rebuild all dependent packages automatically”. This would allow dynamic linking of Rust and Haskell programs, which have no stable ABI at all. Bodhi or koji would rebuild all dependent packages and push them out (following the usual testing process) without the need for any intervention by those packages’ maintainers. -- Sincerely, Demi Marie Obenour (she/her/hers) _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
