MinGW debug symbols location change
Summary
Store debug files of mingw PE binaries below /usr/lib/debug.
Owner
- Name: Sandro Mani
- Email: manisandro@gmail.com
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora Linux 36
- Last updated: 2021-08-25
- FESCo issue: #2662
- Tracker bug: #1997493
- Release notes tracker: #742
Detailed Description
Native debug symbols are already stored below /usr/lib/debug. This change modifies mingw-find-debuginfo.sh, part of mingw-filesystem, to do the same.
Benefit to Fedora
Besides alignment with debuginfo symbols of native packages, this avoids an easy to hit issue for mingw packagers where .debug files end up in the main package, i.e.
%files -n mingw64-libfoo
%{mingw64_libdir}/plugindir/
where %{mingw64_libdir}/plugindir/ contains both say libfooplugin.dll as well as libfooplugin.dll.debug.
Scope
- Proposal owners:
mingw-find-debuginfo.sh will be updated to store debug symbols below /usr/lib/debug, as follows:
Store debug files below /usr/lib/debug
- Other developers:
%excludes of *.debug files can be dropped from spec files.
- Release engineering: Impact check [1]
- Release engineering: Mass rebuild requested
- Policies and guidelines: No policies need to be changed
Upgrade/compatibility impact
No impact
How To Test
Verify that *.debug files are stored below /usr/lib/debug.
User Experience
*.debug files are stored below /usr/lib/debug.
Dependencies
None
Contingency Plan
- Contingency mechanism: Revert to older versions of environment / toolchain, mass rebuild mingw packages again
- Contingency deadline: Before release
- Blocks release? Yes
- Blocks product? No
Release Notes
From Fedora 36 onwards, debug symbols for mingw binaries will be stored below /usr/lib/debug.
