There is one last problem:
If vmlinux is needed for debugging only how do we ensure it's installed with the debuginfo package if we package it separately?
debuginfo packages are created automagically so it's difficult to inject additional dependencies or files.
(as noted by Ludwig already): Requires: (kernel-default-vmlinux if kernel-default-debuginfo) That would make the (new) -vmlinux mandatory as soon as -debuginfo is being triggered for install next to -default. (In reply to Tony Jones from comment #30)
(In reply to Ludwig Nussel from comment #28)
I guess what you want is to install that package if both kernel-default as well as kernel-default-debuginfo are installed.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding.
How is that different from just adding vmlinux to the debuginfo package?
Also, as already shown, systemtap can make use of the symbol information in vmlinux without debuginfo.
It is different insofar that you can install -vmlinux without the -debuginfo (but not the -debuginfo without the -vmlinux) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
