I am using RTSC as a build system and I have a package that contains
various functions which constitutes my the public API of that package.
Assuming the first release of the package is 1.0.0.0, am I correct in
stating that if my public API changes (which imply a person consuming my
package has to rewrite his code), then the I need to increase M which
would lead to version 2.0.0.0?
Also, when I create a RTSC release, how can I retrieve the compatibility
key so as to create a release named myrelease_1.0.0.0.tar.gz assuming my
package has the compatibility key is 1.0.0.0.
Regards

Yes.
During configuration, all packages contributing content are scanned to
determine if there are any that were built using your package. If the
config tool detects that some package, say P, was built with 1.x.y of
your package and 2.a.b is contributing to the configuration, then the
configuration step will fail with an error indicating the package P must
be rebuilt with version 2.a.b.

A package's compatibility key can be obtained either as part of a build
script
( http://rtsc.eclipse.org/cdoc-tip/index.html#xdc/bld/PackageC ontents.html#version)
or a program's configuration script
(http://rtsc.eclipse.org/docs-tip/XDCscript_-_Package-Object .%24vers).
During the execution of a build script the only compatibility key
available is that of the package being built (the one contained in the
package.xdc file). During configuration, the compatibility key of any
loaded package is available (this allows a package to check the versions
of any prerequisite packages and handle incompatibilities as necessary).
