Package: binutils Version: 2.20.90.20101121-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: upstream
Nowadays perf (like oprofile) links against libbfd, which again reminds me that I wish it had a stable ABI[1]. Actually an unstable ABI is fine with me, as long as the ABI version is not bumped with every release. For example, I'd be fine with an unversioned shared library and Breaks for each ABI break, or I'd be happy to maintain a version number that only increases with incompatible ABI changes. Thoughts? Has this idea been raised upstream before? [1] I'll file a separate bug to request that perf be linked statically, but it would be better to avoid that. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
