debuginfo sub-packages for the kernel

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I started playing around with having RPM automatically generate the
debuginfo subpackages per
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/SubpackageAndSourceDebuginfo
Because the kernel is a continual source of exceptions, the existing
code doesn't handle the case where the debuginfo and file may have
different names.

The kernel modules are compressed at the install stage so foo.ko
becomes foo.ko.xz. The debuginfo is generated as foo.ko.debug.
The existing code to split debugfiles.list can't detect this so
those files end up as unpackaged. A similar problem happens with
the vmlinux for the main kernel.

Is this an issue that can reasonably be fixed or worked around to
support the debuginfo subpackages for the kernel? I want to make
sure I'm not digging myself into a hole before I spend more time
on this.

Thanks,
Laura
