#102 debuginfod for centos wanted
Opened 4 months ago by pemensik. Modified 5 days ago

There is excellent service at https://debuginfod.centos.org/. Sadly, it is somehow difficult to get it enabled, because you have to first know it exists and where to find information about it.

Similar to https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHELCMP-13886, I think it would make sense to add centpkg subpackage debuginfod, which centpkg would recommend. It would create url file with echo https://debuginfod.centos.org/ > /etc/debuginfod/centos.urls command.

Many of us engineers use fedora on machines, but building often centos packages from it. Therefore it is likely we might see coredumps from packages built. But especially when some gdb helpers are needed for analysis, it helps if we can use our systems gdb, but able to fetch debug symbols needed. Fortunately we have everything supported since CentOS 9. But miss automatic installation for debuginfo.

Currently elfutils-debuginfod-client package provides own systems instance of debuginfo. But if working on multiple systems and analysing coredumps on both Fedora and CentOS, it would be helpful to have it enabled automatically.


Putting this in centpkg doesn't make sense to me.
Why isn't this config file being put in whatever you use to work with the coredumps?

Or possibly better, create it's own package that has all the fedora, centos, RHEL, and any other configs you want, and make it a Recommend in fedora-packager.
