Like I said earlier, I'm now looking into the "debuginfo" package
mechanism of rpm/redhat-rpm-config. I think I'll have to ask an old
question again in this context, i.e.:
How do you enable and disable debug package build?
I found a way of disabling them a long time ago, of course, which was
just to insert
%define debug_package %{nil}
in the rpm spec or
%debug_package %{nil}
in /etc/rpm/macros.
Now that I'm actually trying to build debuginfo packages, I'm no longer
happy with that solution, however. Neither do I want to globally enable
debuginfo, I think, as it just gets in the way for general rebuilds of
freeware src.rpms etc, and also fails for far too many packages. What
I'd really like, is to keep the mechanism off by default, but allow it
to be re-enabled for on a package-by-package basis by including a
%define in the .spec file, or a --define on the command line. The
problem is, debug_package is not very easy to use that way, as it has
very complex body including the full definition of the package. Also,
after reading the Red Hat macro setup, I thought that
%_enable_debug_packages might be used as a simple flag, but unsetting it
appears to have no effect (i.e. debuginfo is still built, provided that
%debug_package is set.)
So is there a predefined way to enable/disable debuginfo build as
mentioned above? Or do I have to introduce some additional macro logic
of my own to be able to do this?
