Introduction

Not all distributions have easy ways to debug packages. This page tracks how easy it is to debug packages with a debugger.

References

  1. See the Installing Debugging Files chapter in the Guix manual for how to download and use the debug symbols.
  2. There are some -debug packages in pcr, and libre, but the packages that come from Arch Linux don't seem to have corresponding -debug packages. In addition not all source packages have corresponding -debug packages. For instance icecat doesn't have a debug package.
  3. Parabola is configured to use Arch Linux debuginfod repository. See the Debuginfod Arch Linux Wiki page for more information. Since it's configured to use the Arch Linux debuginfod repository, it won't have debug symbols for Parabola packages.
  4. There are some -dbg packages (a bit more than 360) but PureOS 10 (byzantium) has about 58000 packages in total and some package that are definitely written in C or C++ (like coreutils for instance) don't have corresponding -dbg packages.
  5. There are some -dbg packages (almost 260) but Trisquel 11 (aramo) has about 65000 packages in total and some package that are definitely written in C or C++ (like coreutils for instance) don't have corresponding -dbg packages.
