An ABI/API compliance checker for git repositories.

The goal of this project is to make it as easy as possible to check new upstream versions of shared libraries against ABI/API breaks.

The user should only provide a GIT url and optionally a list of tags, which should be checked (semantic versioning required).

The tool than automatically tries to build the software and checks the API/ABI using the ABI-compliance-checker.

The result should be presented in browsable HTML files.

Each project needs a specification about where the sources can be found, which tags should be checked and how the binaries are built.

The specification is expressed in YAML.

branches: 
    - master
    - develop
recipes: 
    - tag: 0.1.*
      libraries: 
        - libjsoncpp.so.*
      script: |
        mkdir build
        cd build
        cmake -DJSONCPP_LIB_BUILD_SHARED=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
        make

    - tag: 1.0.*
      libraries:
        - libjsoncpp.so.*
      script: |
        scons platform=gcc
        make

The implementation will probably be in python.
