Subject: [Bug default/21730] New: Make abipkgdiff compare Linux Kernel Packages as expected
Date: Sun, 01 Jan 2017 00:00:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-21730-9487@http.sourceware.org/bugzilla/> (raw)
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21730
Bug ID: 21730
Summary: Make abipkgdiff compare Linux Kernel Packages as
expected
Product: libabigail
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: default
Assignee: dodji at redhat dot com
Reporter: dodji at redhat dot com
CC: libabigail at sourceware dot org
Target Milestone: ---
When abipkgdiff is given two kernel packages (and their ancillary debug info
packages) it should consider the uncompressed vmlinux binary that is present in
the first debug info package (at least in Fedora/EL RPMs), consider the kernel
modules present in the Kernel package, consider the union of the vmlinux and
kernel module binaries. Let's call that union "The Kernel".
Then abipkgdiff should compare that Kernel to the Kernel from the second
package.
A bit like what kmidiff does for two Linux Kernel Trees.
