Description Davide Cavalca 2024-08-27 21:46:26 UTC

I'm packaging FEX (https://github.com/FEX-Emu/FEX) in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2305342 which provides a GDBSymbol integration library, that's currently installed under %{_libdir}/gdb/libFEXGDBReader.so. The %{_libdir}/gdb directory is currently owned by the subpackage there, but it should probably be owned by one of the gdb packages instead. It's also not entirely clear to me if we need to do anything to actually use this from gdb if it's available.

Reproducible: Always

Hello,

Sorry for the delay, this bug somewhat slipped through the cracks. We're not sure what you mean by GDBSymbol integration library. Could you clarify what you mean by that?

Comment 2 Davide Cavalca 2024-10-02 16:08:03 UTC

There's some details in https://github.com/FEX-Emu/FEX/pull/3969, however after discussing this with upstream we're just going to drop this integration from the FEX package altogether (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/fex-emu/c/25bc4625c75d84f206d1e20d06f5460e6f70450f?branch=rawhide), as it's not really meant for end users and it's only useful for FEX developers. Apologies for the noise.
