Hi! Trying to be prepare some packages for contrib I stumbeled upon the problem of stripping the package of its debug information. Now I learned that install- strip is not the way to go, as it will make it impossible to debug the application, and I should use %debug_packges, as that will create a "-debug" package with the stripped information. Having added a line "%debug_package" to the spec-file now gives me a strip package without using install-strip. It won't give me a "-debug"-package so, caused by the following problem printed by osc-out. Preparing packages for installation... vorbisgain-debuginfo-0.34-8 vorbisgain-debugsource-0.34-8 vorbisgain-0.34-8 ... running 01-check-debuginfo ... testing for empty debuginfo packages ! ! vorbisgain-debugsource-0.34-8.x86_64.rpm: no debug sources, deleting package ! vorbisgain-debuginfo-0.34-8.x86_64.rpm: WARNING: this probably means the debug information is invalid ! To me this looks that I am missing some information that I should have handed to the %debug_package macro. Sadly my googling (actually ixquick) skills could not provide me with any documentation on this macro. Did anybody master this macro and could give me a hint on what I am doing wrong, or which information is required to understand my problem?
