Oops - this is less severe a problem than I first thought - it appears the actual source files in dhcp build tree and the other package I looked at ARE links - but still the links should be resolved and the actual source files should be put into the debuginfo package. This is made worse by the package using absolute symlinks instead of relative ones. The core of the problem is rpm's find-debuginfo.sh script. Fixing it is possible but it'd take a lot of hacking and we don't have anyone maintaining the debuginfo stuff (which is actually in rpm itself). In a word: submit patches. :) Yah, what sopwith said. "Patches cheerfully accepted." is my mantra too. NEEDINFO waiting for patches ... Closing due to inactivity. If this issue still occurs with current releases, please reopen and set the release in which you've encountered the problem. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Description of problem: When RPMs are built and debuginfo packages are generated, the debuginfo package contains symbolic links to the source files on the build system, not the source files themselves. This renders debuginfo packages useless - they cannot be used for debugging unless installed on the system that built the RPM. For instance, dhcp-debuginfo-3.0.1-7.i386.rpm, as built by the build system, contains no source code files, only links to where they were when the package was built: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 56 Aug 24 12:08 /usr/src/debug/dhcp-3.0.1/work.linux-2.2/server/mdb.c -> /usr/src/build/438185-i386/BUILD/dhcp-3.0.1/server/mdb.c The /usr/src/build/438185-i386/BUILD/dhcp-3.0.1/server/mdb.c file does not exist on the target platform, hence dhcp cannot be debugged on the target platform using the dhcp-debuginfo package. This seems to be true for all the *debuginfo rpms; they are quite useless for debugging purposes, since all the source files they contain are links to non-existent files. The debuginfo packages must contain the actual source files, not links. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-rpm-config-8.0.28-1.1.1, 8.0.28-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Build an rpm with rpmbuild containing executable shared objects 2. The "%{name}-debuginfo-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}.rpm" debuginfo package is generated Actual Results: The debuginfo package will contain only links to the source files on the build server, not the files themselves, rendering the debuginfo package useless for debugging (or any other!) purposes. Expected Results: The debuginfo package should install the actual source code files under /usr/src/debug/%{name}-%{version}, not links Additional info:
