#13 Include useful help message when an ABI change has been reported
Closed 5 years ago Opened 6 years ago by sinnykumari.

From IRC conversation with @dodji on #libabigail

(Minor modification in message)
<Dodji> ksinny: we should include a link to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Taskotron/Tasks/dist.abicheck#How_to_filter_some_change_reports_out.3F, whenever we report an ABI change
<Dodji> ksinny: i.e, emit a message saying that if the user wants to filter out that kind of changes in the future, she might add a proper .abignore file to her package. To do so, she can learn more at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Taskotron/Tasks/dist.abicheck#How_to_filter_some_change_reports_out.3F.
<ksinny> Dodji: yup, make sense. Definitely useful for package maintainers

If possible we want to add help message in both abicheck log and email notification.

@kparal Just want to make sure first, does corresponding package maintainers already receive email notification if ABI check failed for a package update made? If yes, will it be possible to add help message in email notification and where should I look for to make the change?

The maintainers should receive a notification through https://apps.fedoraproject.org/notifications/ if they left it at default values and have not modified it. That is delivered using email or irc. However, it's based on fedmsg and it's not customizable. So it's only possible to provide this hint in the test log, I believe.

I see. Thanks Kamil for the info.

So, it makes sense to add message to abicheck test run log now and explore later possibility of modifying fedmsg.

PR change is committed to both develop and master branch.
