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. While there are some -debug packages in the repository, this is a bug because the default is not to create them: the makepkg.conf file shipped by pacman currently has 'OPTIONS=(strip docs !libtool !staticlibs emptydirs zipman purge !debug !lto)'.
  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 debug packages
  5. 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.
  6. There are some debug packages
  7. 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.
