Re: libgclib - symbol file - please kindly educate me

[Alex Mestiashvili <amestia@rsh2.donotuse.de>]

Also, there is no need to update symbols version, only add the new symbols.

Symbols file is needed to track down the ABI changes.

https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-sharedlibs.html

"A symbols file documents, for each symbol exported by a library, the 
minimal version of the package any binary using this symbol will need. 
This is typically the version of the package in which the symbol was 
introduced."

I am on a vac and most of the time Afk.

Best regards,
Alex
