[Moving thread to wireshark-dev from wireshark-core, following Joerg's action] I have just committed the make target "dumpabi" for dumping ABI description using ABI compliance checker [1]. Now everything is there to start versioning with as little effort as possible. Cheers, Balint [1] http://ispras.linux-foundation.org/index.php/ABI_compliance_checker On 05/30/2011 02:23 PM, Balint Reczey wrote:
Most patches has been merged which would allow us to easily update the library versions. The important change I can't introduce by submitting a patch would be a change to the release process. We should ensure that we don't make major and maintenance releases without adjusting the library version according to the ABI changes and we should not make maintenance releases with changes bumping the library versions too high, e.g. to an existing major library version. What is missing is a script for checking the ABI changes, but I'll try to prepare one. Cheers, Balint On 05/18/2011 11:16 PM, Jeff Morriss wrote:Why not create a patch? If this is only to maintain the ABI within a (stable) trunk, it doesn't seem to do any harm. And would then linuxtesting.org (only) warn us about ABI breaks within a particular version of the library? Balint Reczey wrote:Ping... We broke ABI again according to http://linuxtesting.org/upstream-tracker/versions/wireshark.html . What should be done (from my side) to start versioning?

I've got some ideas myself, but you probably have a better outlook on things. No grand plans, just getting thing completed (hopefully in time).Hi, I think since we export only the symbols listed in .def/.sym files we could start keeping our API/ABI stable in stable branches and start library versioning. We could start by bumping the major version of the libs we ship (libwiretab, libwsutil, libwireshark) in 1.6.0. In 1.8.0 we could remove the obsolete exported symbols if there is any. Cheers, BalintHi, Could we please start managing the lib versions with 1.6.0(rc1)? Thanks, Balint
