            Bug ID: 31539
           Summary: abidb: formalize solib metadata abeam abixml
           Product: libabigail
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: default
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: fche at redhat dot com
                CC: libabigail at sourceware dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

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 :-).
