Description

One problem with this is the diversity of kernels of any given version: plain kernel, kernel-debug, kernel-PAE, etc., each with its own -devel and -debuginfo pieces. While kernel-FOO-devel does tend these days to give a virtual provide: for a base "kernel-devel", kernel-FOO-debuginfo does not. AFAIK, that means there is no single generic require: we could have. Could you not have a pre- or post- install hook that checked the currently running kernel and installed the appropriate debuginfo package? It wouldn't be 100% perfect, but it would get it right in the vast majority of cases. I don't think it would be right for those hooks to try to initiate network downloads. However, we could at least print a message with suggestions. Tracking idea at http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9994 This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
