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.

Thanks for deploying debuginfod Kristian/Morten! I think we should just mirror debug packages to our own controlled mirrors.

Greetings,

Jelle
