There also exists the --stdout option in the 1.96.1 version of 
abi-compliance-checker tool to print ABI dumps to stdout. So, this 
allows to avoid creating archives and speed up the analysis:

1. abi-compliance-checker -l libmemcached -dump libmemcached042.xml 
-stdout > libmemcached_0.42.abi
2. abi-compliance-checker -l libmemcached -dump libmemcached043.xml 
-stdout > libmemcached_0.43.abi
3. abi-compliance-checker -l libmemcached -d1 libmemcached_0.42.abi -d2 
libmemcached_0.43.abi

Also, we have moved upstream-tracker service from 
http://linuxtesting.org/upstream-tracker/ to the new URL: 
http://upstream-tracker.org/
