Debusine now supports debug symbol packages thanks to this year's Debusine GSoC project, debuginfod server.
The debuginfod server functionality was added to #Debusine so that it not only hosts -dbgsym packages, but also serves their debug symbols over the debuginfod protocol.
Read the blog post by the GSoC contributor, Jugal Patel, to learn more about the feature and how the support was added: https://www.freexian.com/blog/debusine-debug-symbols/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social
✨ Abusing gdb Features for Data Ingress & Egress
Was finnally annoyed enough from my custom llvm16 #archlinux packages not being debugable via #gdb so i rebuild them so they now also produce debug packages!
But they are *huge*; lld for example is packed ~100mb but unpacked ~400mb.
So I got down the rabbit hole about running a own #debuginfod instance. And it works now :D
#GDB developers are working on a feature that can drastically reduce the amount of debuginfo data downloaded from #debuginfod: https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/elf-section-retrieval-debuginfod
"[…] If .gdb_index sections tend to be roughly 7% of the size of the debuginfo file it indexes, then in the best case we avoid spending time and storage downloading the vast majority of all the shared library debuginfo for a program. […] Look forward to this feature in future versions of GDB! […]"
Just discovered #debuginfod while trying to untangle a #leaksanitizer backtrace. I'm glad I've got a fibre link though because it downloads every libraries debug info on startup.
