            Bug ID: 19948
           Summary: Add --src-pkg1 and --src-pkg2 options to abipkgdiff
           Product: libabigail
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: default
          Assignee: dodji at redhat dot com
          Reporter: dodji at redhat dot com

  Target Milestone: ---

For packages that support the concept of "source package" (e.g, SRPM in the RPM
world), abipkgdiff should support these options: --src-pkg1
<older-source-package> --src-pkg2 <newer-source-package>.

Having access to the source packages would let abipkgdiff know where the public
headers are.  This is useful to filter out abi changes happening on types that
are not defined in public headers.

This would also help abipkgdiff look for *.abignore files that are in the SRPM
file only.
