I'm very happy to announce that debug packages in Arch Linux has been deployed
:)
This work began after FOSDEM 2020 and was announced in November 2020. However
because of time constraints it took quite a while before we managed to deploy
it.
Currently we have a debuginfod service which is capable of delivering source
listings and debug symbols to users with gdb, delve and other debuggers. This
can be enabled by installing the `debuginfod` package and setting the
environment variable `DEBUGINFOD_URLS="https://debuginfod.archlinux.org"`. The
`debuginfod` package is also going to be providing this variable :)
The debug package repositories themself are not publicly accessible nor
distributed to our mirrors. This is because there is a general concern around
the repository size increase. The goal is to take a look at distributing them
and/or making them accessible in the future.
We have three sponsored machines, which are used as package mirrors and
archive mirrors[1].
At the time of writing they have 14TB available storage each, so we
could mirror the debug packages to them.
