Ah, possibly. I'll have a look. Can you give me a pointer to the
mechanism you were thinking of?
Something like IMAGE_FEATURES += "dbg-pkgs" should trigger the addition
of dbg packages.
I've somewhat belatedly gotten around to using this and encountered a
couple of issuettes:
1. There was a spurious-looking RRECOMMENDS_${PN}-dbg in bitbake.conf
which was causing ${PN} to be dragged into the image whenever ${PN}-dbg
was installed. This is undesirable because it means that, for example,
any image which includes sysvinit-pidof will end up installing sysvinit
and this might cause quite drastic changes to the behaviour of the
resulting image.
2. Having fixed the above I'm now left with a couple of file conflicts
in the -dbg packages. For example, sysvinit and util-linux both
ship /sbin/sulogin and so sysvinit-dbg and util-linux-dbg both want to
install /sbin/.debug/sulogin. This is unfortunate if you have an image
which uses, say, sysvinit-pidof and util-linux-blkid.
Is this a problem that they should have used the update-alternatives for
sulogin? (Sounds like it might be a security issue though...) This would avoid
the .debug conflict.
--Mark
I'm not quite sure what the right way to fix (2) is. I suppose in an
ideal world the -dbg packages would be separated in the same way the
parent binary packages are, but that doesn't look entirely
straightforward to arrange.
