Package: debhelper
Version: 9.20130518
Severity: normal
Hi,
I updated webkit to compat 9 to get compressed build-id debug info files.
However it seems this is going to be a problem for some builders,
as in a local build I got:
BFD: debian/libwebkitgtk-1.0-0/usr/lib/libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0.18.7: unable to
initialize compress status for section .debug_info
objcopyebian/libwebkitgtk-1.0-0/usr/lib/libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0.18.7: Memory
exhausted
(And that's with the smaller libwebkitgtk-1.0-0; libwebkit{,2}gtk-3.0 that
follow it are much bigger!)
Another reason for this is that the .deb size has increased considerably
because zlib compression of the debug info files kills xz compression
of the .deb:
-rw-r--r-- 1 emilio emilio 688M Jun 1 00:41
libwebkit2gtk-3.0-25-dbg_2.0.2-1_amd64.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 emilio emilio 1.3G Jun 5 04:31
libwebkit2gtk-3.0-25-dbg_2.0.2-2_amd64.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 emilio emilio 343M Jun 1 00:29
libwebkitgtk-1.0-0-dbg_2.0.2-1_amd64.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 emilio emilio 635M Jun 5 04:26
libwebkitgtk-1.0-0-dbg_2.0.2-2_amd64.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 emilio emilio 343M Jun 1 00:29
libwebkitgtk-3.0-0-dbg_2.0.2-1_amd64.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 emilio emilio 634M Jun 5 04:27
libwebkitgtk-3.0-0-dbg_2.0.2-2_amd64.deb
Thus I would like to have an option to disable --compress-debug-sections.
I could just go back to compat < 8 but then I'd also lose build-id which
greatly increase gdb's startup, specially having in mind webkit's debug
info files' size.
If you would rather not add this option just for one package let me know
and I'll do my own stripping of the files.
Thanks,
Emilio
