Hi, Following a request from Carsten, we started splitting debug sources from debuginfo packages, which enhances the developer experience. Now debuginfo packages only have the symbols, when needed, debug sources can be downloaded separately. To further enhance the developer experience the following changes will be committed to Trunk soon:
1. Debuginfo packages will be per sub-package, not for the full package, so basically you will only download the symbols you really need, and not the whole set of symbols of packages you might have and those you do not. (This is based on a patch from opensuse) 2. Debuginfo packages will provide the build id, so that it will be easy to automated installation of debuginfo packages after a crash. This is a long standing item, it used to work with yum and the debuginfo-install script, now it is supported with zypper in a much intelligent way. 3. meego-rpm-config will be dropped and macros will be part of rpm: The rationale for doing this is the fact that many changes always need to go in both rpm and meego-rpm-config which makes bootstrapping very difficult. Also, meego-rpm-config is very difficult to keep in sync with evolving rpm changes and macros. Changes to default rpm files and behaviour will be done on the core rpm file, so when you install rpm, you always get the meego, and not the default rpm setup and configuration. Enhancements and additional macros will be added to a meego specific macros file on top of existing (and patches) macros file supplied by rpm Regards, Anas _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev http://wiki.meego.com/Mailing_list_guidelines
