Hello,
Since this update:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libnsl2/c/d2e2fab5e3ab07228a34f35ab8ec...
Nothing in rawhide builds, because Python and hence dnf is not installable:
Is it possible to automate a scan across
(at least) the "core"(*) packages and
identify those spec files that use one of
the (from the packaging guidelines)
SHOULD NOT unversioned soname
globs and then have explicit major
sonames added(**)? Of course such a
change will not prevent explicit bumps,
but should, at a minimum, raise the
bar just a bit for accidental bumps
(which is what I presume this was when
the new upstream source was
submitted as an update).
(*) Is there such a list of "core" libraries?
If not, that might need to be another
item on the work queue.
(**) I am presuming that most of the
unversioned soname globs in most
spec files predate the SHOULD NOT
recommendations, and cleaning that
up would be a good thing moving
forward.
