ABI-compliance-checker (acc) is a tool that can be used to catch unintentional abi breakage, as well as to assert ABI stability of a release and validate 3rd party binaries to be compatible with a given release. A debhelper plugin dh_acc is also available, but the adoption has been very slow. A short presentation on what dh_acc is and how one can leverage it will be presented. Presentation will be followed by discussion on how to lower adoption barrier and/or provide abi compliance on a more holistic approach (e.g. do we want an archive-wide service for Debian similar to http://upstream-tracker.org/ ?)
