Massive symbol file changes in dpkg-gensymbols

[Xuanteng Huang <xuanteng.huang@outlook.com>]

Hi developers,

I’m giving an attempt to upgrade rocm-smi-lib [1] from 5.7.0 to 6.1.2 [2], however, there are massive symbol file diffs printed when building the package. This is because this library exposes internal interfaces without management [3].

I’m stuck on this for a while, and I want to ask is there any tool that can help us to generate a new file from current symbol file in 5.7.0 and the build diff. If not, should we consider generate the symbol file for 6.1.2 from scratch?


Best,
Xuanteng
