Hi, Now that f24 has branched I thought I would start early with a proposal for a system wide change for f25: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ParallelInstallableDebuginfo This is because I never proposed a system wide change before and so could use some help finishing the proposal. If someone could help me fill in the missing (procedural) blanks in the above proposal that would be appreciated. The idea requires various changes to upstream projects that are (partially) responsible for generating (separate) debuginfo and build-ids (binutils linkers, elfutils eu-strip, rpm debugedit and find-debuginfo.sh) which I intent to write, but haven't yet. I believe the changes I propose will only need changes in the debuginfo producers, but that any debuginfo consumer (gdb, elfutils, systemtap, systemd-coredump/abrt, valgrind, perf, etc.) should not need any changes. But I might have forgotten something that might depend on something I am proposing to change. So if people could check if the basic idea and implementation suggestions are sane that would also be appreciated. Finally I hope that if the above proposal is accepted it will make some other followup features easier. I did include an idea to extend the dnf debuginfo-install plugin to pull in all debuginfo packages for a core file or for processes running in a particular fedora container (so you can easily profile, trace and debug from the host or a super privileged container something running in another). Which should maybe be its own feature idea. Another feature that might become easier with this proposal is having /usr/lib/debug and /usr/src/debug on an NFS share and install all debuginfo versions on an NFS server. Or even extend that into DebuginfoFS https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/DebuginfoFS like the clear linux project has https://clearlinux.org/features/all-debug-information-all-time Thanks, Mark -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
