Hi,
libnl3 upstream enabled symbol versioning a longer time ago. In
Debian this was temporarily reverted. With libnl3 3.11.0 I want us
to get back in sync with upstream in this regard.
I've done a manual check on direct reverse dependencies, and the
change appears ABI-compatible. Programs linked against old libnl3
binary packages apparently pick up the symbols just fine.
The other way round, programs linked against libnl3 libs from
3.11.0-1 then require the full (with version) symbol name.
Have you bumped the minimum version in .symbols then?
While theoretically there is no rebuild of the r-deps needed, I
think we should still rebuild them. I've done a local test rebuild
of all direct r-deps (*) and they build fine.
Go ahead.
Emilio
