Description Florian Weimer 2018-12-21 12:30:00 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1661508 +++

The fix for bug 1186563 has the side effect that binaries are no longer stripped because glibc.spec uses the -g option.  This adds a measurable overhead to the packages.

Comment 13 Carlos O'Donell 2021-01-18 17:28:41 UTC

We are still reviewing this for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Packaging work is required and we are looking at this overall between Fedora, and RHEL.

Comment 14 RHEL Program Management 2021-02-01 07:31:24 UTC

After evaluating this issue, there are no plans to address it further or fix it in an upcoming release.  Therefore, it is being closed.  If plans change such that this issue will be fixed in an upcoming release, then the bug can be reopened.

Comment 15 Florian Weimer 2021-05-20 12:06:08 UTC

Fedora has implemented a solution for this. It seems to work well. We could apply the same change downstream, to benefit from the installation size reduction.

Comment 17 Florian Weimer 2021-08-25 12:46:41 UTC

I think Fedora 33 has the changes we need, especially in the form of the wrapper script: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/glibc/blob/f33/f/wrap-find-debuginfo.sh

Comment 23 Florian Weimer 2021-12-15 08:17:27 UTC

rpm-4.14.3-20.el8 is in the buildroot, so this should now be unblocked.

Comment 34 errata-xmlrpc 2022-05-10 15:17:34 UTC

Since the problem described in this bug report should be
resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a
resolution of ERRATA.

Comment 35 Florian Weimer 2022-07-01 18:47:23 UTC

Please note that as part of this change, we now always keep debuginfo for ld.so to help with dynamic loader introspection. See bug 2102778 for some discussion regarding that.
