See my feedback in https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/rpm/pull-request/25 On a related note, it would be technically possibly to just override %__debug_install_post in redhat-rpm-config so toolchain stuff can all be managed from redhat-rpm-config side. It's been that way in the past but whether it was for good reasons I don't know. I'm not particularly promoting this, but it's an option. (In reply to Panu Matilainen from comment #1) > See my feedback in https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/rpm/pull-request/25 Thanks! I have updated to the PR to rename the variable to _find_debuginfo_vendor_opts If that is accepted then I would of course wish to use the same name to fulfill this BZ. > On a related note, it would be technically possibly to just override > %__debug_install_post in redhat-rpm-config so toolchain stuff can all be > managed from redhat-rpm-config side.

An idea, but I think that it might be confusing for package maintainers. Still if I cannot get my updates to the rpm package approved then I may have to choose this route instead. Thanks for the suggestion. Fixed in redhat-rpm-config-196-1.el9 Note - this update will not have any active effect yet, because the corresponding change to the rpm package (BZ 2099617) has not gone in yet. It may be possible to see the _find_debuginfo_vendor_opts variable being set in the build.log of a random package however. I am not sure if these logs show all of the macro variables being set... Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For information on the advisory (redhat-rpm-config bug fix and enhancement update), and where to find the updated files, follow the link below. If the solution does not work for you, open a new bug report. https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2022:8149 Nick, it looks like while this patch made it into Fedora's /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/macros properly, a corresponding fix to rpm's /usr/lib/rpm/macros (bug #2099617) didn't. Neither _find_debuginfo_vendor_opts nor _find_debuginfo_extra_opts appears in /usr/lib/rpm/macros on f42/f43 So it looks like _find_debuginfo_extra_opts is not used by anything. (The RHEL version of these packages is consistent and uses _vendor_.) Is this intentional? |
Created attachment 1891556 [details] Define _find_debuginfo_extra_opts Please can commit e7f4716 to the Fedora rawhide version of redhat-rpm-config be applied to the RHEL-9 version. (Commit attached). This commit adds a definition of the _find_debuginfo_extra_opts variable with the text necessary to cause the find-debuginfo.sh script to move any notes created by the annobin plugin out of the executable and into its associated debuginfo file. This reduces the size of compiled executables, at the cost of larger debuginfo files. The change will only work once the _find_debuginfo_extra_opts variable is added to the list of variables passed to the find-debuginfo.sh script. This is handled by the rpm package. Hence a separate BZ will be created for that change.
