Description of problem: rpm-build: strict (build-id) checking in /usr/lib/rpm/find-debuginfo.sh cannot be turned off Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [f8] /usr/lib/rpm # rpm -qf /usr/lib/rpm/find-debuginfo.sh rpm-build-4.4.2.2-7.fc8 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: Please see detailed information below Additional info: I'm using rpmbuild on a fedora 8 system. Some of our packages are not yet compliant with the new --build-id ld flag My understanding is that the find-debuginfo.sh script was designed to have the strict checking feature turned off by default, and had an option to turn it on. But unfortunately it reads : 28 # Barf on missing build IDs. 29 # XXX temporarily on by default 30 strict=true 31 So there does not seem to be a simple way to turn it off, as we would like to, even temporarily until we get all builds properly fixed (which btw would be greatly simpler if gcc would understand --build-id) I would expect, either that the default value would be set to false as the comment suggests, or to have an option to turn strict checking off so I could use %__debug_install_post to work around this issue I believe the version of rpm-build that I'm using is the latest one Thanks
Created attachment 273941 [details] default value for strict checking : false
(In reply to comment #0) > [f8] /usr/lib/rpm # rpm -qf /usr/lib/rpm/find-debuginfo.sh > rpm-build-4.4.2.2-7.fc8 rpm-build is a subpackage of rpm, not rpmdevtools -> reassigning.
Yup, the bits to control build-id behavior through _missing_build_ids_terminate_build macro never made it to F8. Better late than never of course...
Hello Does this mean that you plan on publishing a fixed version as part of the standard f8 updates ? If so, what kind of timeframe would that be ? I'm asking because we're kind of stuck here, and working around this problem by our own means is likely to involve quite a few uggly and useless tricks ... Thanks in advance -- Thierry
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '8'. 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 8'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 8 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 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 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.
