Hi -
My company has a need to build both optimized and non-optimized
flavors of the same RPM. The issue is not about the debug symbols table,
but rather that various C++ optimizations make it difficult to debug the
executables, even if you don't strip the symbols.
Consequently, we want to build and manage both flavors. Is there a
recommended procedure for distinguishing two rpms that have identical
source but have been compiled with different flags? I was considering
altering the "Release:" field to have a suffix "_optimized" or
"_unoptimized". I also could actually change the name of the rpm to
reflect the flavor, but I'm concerned that will introduce dependency
problems.
I could set up separate yum servers for each flavor, but I'm
concerned about users being unable to easily tell which flavor an rpm is
once it's installed.
Has anybody out there got a good approach for handling this? Thanks
in advance.
-Carter
