I'm at a loss to how to proceed with the MiniDebugInfo work. I have
patches to rpmbuild that creates the compressed minidebuginfo putting
them in the main binaries, and I have patches to gdb that reads the
compressed debuginfo on demand.
However, the whole thing is useless unless we agree that we want to
enable this by default. It seems some people like the idea, whereas
others disagree that its worth the increased binary size. It doesn't
look like either side is gonna be able to convince the other side, so
how do we get to a decision here?
Just go do it. See who actually shows up to stop you.
To actually get the debuginfo in the builds all I need is a minor patch
to the find-debuginfo.sh script in rpm-build. However, since the effect
of it is global it seems to me that its a wider decision than just the
maintainer of rpm-build.
As long as the behavior is optional and configurable, just send the
patch to rpm-maint and we'll see. Fedora isn't the only consumer of rpm,
and somebody else might find it useful regardless of whether Fedora
wants to enable the thing or not.
