Hi Severin and Omair,
Sorry for not replying to this earlier.
I agree that the handling of debug information in OpenJDK has not
properly addressed the needs of the Linux distribution community. :-(
And even if this does not really help you, I can perhaps comfort you
slightly by saying that the needs of Oracle is not properly addressed
either. :-&
So I'd really like to spend some effort of revamping the code related to
debug symbols, so that it properly aligns with the needs of all
interested parties. Your mail have brought the issue higher up on the
urgency list.
I'm trying to get a proper description of all use cases that we need to
support. I'll get back to you when I have such a description, to check
that I have not misunderstood the needs of the linux distribution community.
Thanks very much! I'm very much looking forward to your proposals.
Which bug are you going to use to track this? This perhaps?
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8073461
Sure, it's as good as any. :)
