Description Frank Ch. Eigler 2024-03-23 09:01:03 UTC 
An abidb git repo stores primarily abixml documents.  In order to allow a user to more fully diagnose a problem, it'd be useful to also store some metadata for the solibs, such as:

- the path name(s?) for the shared library  (/lib64/libfoo.so.45)
- the package name from which the file was extracted (foo-libs.rpm)
- version tagging of the abidw binary
- abidw options in effect

Such bits could go into an optional file right beside the abixml file, with a naming convention such as /path/buildid.json (or perhaps xml or txt :-).
