[Bug default/22436] New: make abipkgdiff accept several debuginfo packages per package to compare



https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22436

            Bug ID: 22436
           Summary: make abipkgdiff accept several debuginfo packages per
                    package to compare
           Product: libabigail
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: default
          Assignee: dodji at redhat dot com
          Reporter: dodji at redhat dot com
                CC: libabigail at sourceware dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

Sometimes, a package P must be accompanied by more than one debug info package
for all the debug information for all binaries of P to be present.

An example of such a case is the libicu-devel-57.1-9.fc27.ppc64.rpm Fedora
package.  It needs the libicu-devel-debuginfo-57.1-9.fc27.ppc64.rpm package (at
least for the icuinfo binary), but then that debuginfo package itself needs the
icu-debuginfo-57.1-9.fc27.ppc64.rpm, as that latest package contains some
useful shared debug information.

So, in short, libicu-devel-57.1-9.fc27.ppc64.rpm needs both
libicu-devel-debuginfo-57.1-9.fc27.ppc64.rpm and
icu-debuginfo-57.1-9.fc27.ppc64.rpm.

So, to compare libicu-devel-57.1-9.fc27.ppc64.rpm against another package,
abipkgdiff should allow users to provide the two debug info packages associated
to it like this:

abipkgdiff --d1 libicu-devel-debuginfo-57.1-9.fc27.ppc64.rpm \
           --d1 icu-debuginfo-57.1-9.fc27.ppc64.rpm \
           --d2 debuginfo-pkg-of-another-package.rpm  \
                libicu-devel-57.1-9.fc27.ppc64.rpm \
                another-package.rpm
