1. list the symbols exported by your library (current package)
2. list the symbols exported by your library (new package)
3. compare the symbols and check for ABI breakage

It could be automated and OBS could provide it (see Anas's postchecks 
repository).

Cheers,

Fathi

Is there some tool you'd recommend to check for ABI incompatibilities?
AFAIK, OBS doesn't provide such functionality.
