Feature changed by: Alexander Orlovskyy (aorlovskyy) Feature #305561, revision 16 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" Discussion: #1: Stephan Kulow (coolo) (2009-02-17 11:17:46) 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. #2: Andreas Gruenbacher (agruen) (2009-02-17 16:15:18) (reply to #1) This should work, and the debug info repository metadata should still remain reasonably small. #3: Stephan Kulow (coolo) (2009-04-16 10:43:47) 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 #4: Stephan Kulow (coolo) (2009-08-18 15:07:42) state in factory: gdb will output the command line for missing debug infos, e.g. zypper install -C "debuginfo(build-id) =41d4f203d690d7db47fbcc38c3f47a2cdcc6848f" #5: Alexander Orlovskyy (aorlovskyy) (2009-10-23 14:50:46) 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. + #7: Alexander Orlovskyy (aorlovskyy) (2009-10-27 10:06:59) + Stephan , this feature should work with enabled debug repo in control. + xml? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305561
