  Title: Install Debuginfo Package by build-id
   
  openSUSE-11.2: Done
  Priority
      Requester: Mandatory
      Projectmanager: Important
   
  Requested by: Jan Blunck (janblunck)
  Developer: Jan Blunck (jblunck)
   
Description:
  Since SLE11 we embed build-ids into all binaries. This build-id can be
  used to match the corresponding debuginfo to a binary file, a running
  process or a core file. To make it easy for user to install the correct
  debuginfo, he should be able to run the following command to get the
  correct debuginfo package installed:
  zypper install debuginfo-build-id-
  eb49eeaf82eff32cfbf44d94f9aa8e3cdcf0e461
   
  Test Case:
  * make sure you don't have the debuginfo
  * run gdb
  * gdb will output the command line for missing debug infos, e.g. zypper
  install -C "debuginfo(build-id)
  =41d4f203d690d7db47fbcc38c3f47a2cdcc6848f"

  Not sure why agruen is set as engmgr, this is simply some rpm hackery.
  Put a debuginfo.prov script in place, that checks the file list given
  and give it all /usr/lib/debug/.build-id files.
  And it will transform /usr/lib/debug/.build-
  id/00/d9cff1044033b4781ab47388b422b07cb72708.debug into debuginfo
  (d9cff1044033b4781ab47388b422b07cb72708).
  After that you can use zypper install -C "debuginfo
  (d9cff1044033b4781ab47388b422b07cb72708)" and you get kdepim4-debuginfo
  installed (11.1-x86_64 example).
  This is an effort of half an hour without testing.

  This should work, and the debug info repository metadata should still
  remain reasonably small.

  the debuginfo meta data for 11.2 and sle11 contain the build ids.
  Zypper support is not implemented, but I don't think it's needed as it
  requires a 10 line shell script wrapper that can live very well in
  ptools

  state in factory: gdb will output the command line for missing debug
  infos, e.g. zypper install -C "debuginfo(build-id)
  =41d4f203d690d7db47fbcc38c3f47a2cdcc6848f"

  Hi Stephan , can you add an example for missing debug infos?
   
+ #6: Stephan Kulow (coolo) (2009-10-23 14:59:33) (reply to #5)
+ no, you can't use a generic example. you will have to try to debug
+ something. gdb /bin/ls will do. It will output something like this (in
+ 11.2):
+ Reading symbols from /bin/ls...Missing separate debuginfo for /bin/ls
+ Try: zypper install -C "debuginfo(build-id)
+ =f2ec11f6e0cb0b5306e5f07fd763063747484bf6" (no debugging symbols
+ found)...done.
+ This zypper command should work.
