I looked at Fedora what they're doing. There is no use of breakpad's dump_syms program at all, so I think it should just be removed from openSUSE.
A look into the file /usr/lib/rpm/mingw32-find-debuginfo.sh shows that the *.sym files are used to find the corresponding source files and add them to the debug package: # breakpad symbols symfile=`"$host-gen_sym_files" "$f" "$RPM_BUILD_ROOT$SYMBOL_DIR"` echo $symfile # grep all listed source files belonging to this package into temporary source file list cat $symfile | grep "FILE" | cut -d' ' -f3 | grep $srcdir >> $SOURCEFILE.tmp # remap file path in symbol file to src debug location # we remap all files to make finding src files from other packages possible sed -i "s,$BUILDDIR,$DEBUGSOURCE_DIR,g" $symfile -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
