To clarify a bit: a properly-updated debuginfofs server should ''always'' have debuginfo for all packages in all configured Fedora repos. Debuginfo for packages that have ''left'' the repos should probably be removed, to conserve disk space - maybe a week after the package is no longer being shipped.
To clarify a bit: a properly-updated debuginfofs server should have debuginfo for all packages in ''all configured Fedora repos'' - that is, we'll have debuginfo for the base version, the updated version, and the updates-testing version of every package.  
 
For packages that have ''left'' the repos (e.g. obsoleted updates) debuginfo isn't deleted immediately, but probably will be deleted after a short grace period - a week for stable releases, less for Rawhide.

Revision as of 23:01, 6 March 2009

Versioning

12:02 < dwmw2> I'm slightly confused about versioning
12:02 < dwmw2> does it cope if clients aren't completely up to date?

Yes. The debuginfo filenames are unique, even across different versions of the same package. So, there will be debuginfo files available for every version of every package available in the debuginfo repos.
