Such policy may give redundant false positives (skipped during analyzing of the report) but allows to check latest versions of the library ABI more carefully and at the right time. > How often do you update those?

They are intended for testing ABI and API of the particular library versions and can be easily integrated (both are lightweight) to your testing framework: http://ispras.linuxfoundation.org/index.php/ABI_compliance_checker http://ispras.linuxfoundation.org/index.php/API_Sanity_Autotest Both tools have an experience of integration to the apt, popt and rpm5 libraries. > Arvid > > -- Andrey Ponomarenko Linux Verification Center, ISPRAS web: http://www.linuxtesting.org
