Public bug reported: With the upcoming release of a debuginfod service for Ubuntu (see https://blog.sergiodj.net/2022/08/14/debuginfod-is-coming-to- ubuntu.html), we need to adjust our tooling to offer users the possibility of using the service out-of-the-box, without too much configuration.
I have recently uploaded elfutils to Debian unstable in order to improve the way it handles the debuginfod shell profiles, and also to preemptively implement support for Ubuntu's debuginfod server. Now, I would like to request a feature freeze exception to bring these updates to Ubuntu Kinetic. The package builds fine on Debian (https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=elfutils), and also on Kinetic. elfutils doesn't have autopkgtests associated with it, but I have tested installing/uninstalling/upgrading/purging the package inside a container to make sure that these operations are still OK. There is a new debconf question that will be introduced by this sync. I marked it as high priority because I believe this is an important feature and users will initially not be aware of it. We can consider lowering the priority later. elfutils generates many binary packages, and as such it has many reverse dependencies. They should not be affected by this sync, though, because all modifications were focused on debuginfod-related maintainer scripts in the package. ** Affects: elfutils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to elfutils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1988608 Title: [FFe] Sync version 0.187-2 from Debian unstable Status in elfutils package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: With the upcoming release of a debuginfod service for Ubuntu (see https://blog.sergiodj.net/2022/08/14/debuginfod-is-coming-to- ubuntu.html), we need to adjust our tooling to offer users the possibility of using the service out-of-the-box, without too much configuration.
