The recent update of gtest to 1.13.0 in Rawhide bumped the .so version. I reminded the maintainers of the Updates Policy for Rawhide and asked them to please announce and coordinate similar updates in the future[1].

The following packages depend on a specific .so version of gtest/gmock at runtime and already have FTI bugs: ceph, davix, gfal2, libcamera, mir, python-steps, and wlcs.

The list of packages that BuildRequire gtest/gmock is huge. I haven’t attempted to determine the full last of packages that could be impacted, or to explicitly (B)CC their maintainers on this message.

There is a higher than usual chance that packages that simply BuildRequire gtest/gmock will FTBFS, because gtest 1.13.0 drops support for C++ standard versions older than C++14. In *most* cases where a package’s build system enforces a specific older C++ version like C++11, it should be OK to patch that out and build with the compiler’s default C++ standard, or, more conservatively, enforce C++14 instead of C++11.
