How to make it also install debug symbols??
684
debuginfo-install is a program which installs the RPMs needed to debug the specified package. The package argument can be a wildcard, but will only match installed packages. debuginfo- install will then enable any debuginfo repositories, and install the relevant debuginfo rpm.
A debug symbol is a special kind of symbol that attaches additional information to the symbol table of an object file, such as a shared library or an executable.
A useful debuginfo package contains stripped symbols from ELF binaries ( *. debug in /usr/lib/debug ) as well as the source code related to them (in /usr/src/debug ). The script that generates the packages is /usr/lib/rpm/find-debuginfo.sh , read it through to get a basic understanding of how they're generated.
There's a helper script debuginfo-install that will find the appropriate packages, but you still need to feed it the (base) package name(s).
Note: dnf (which replaced yum) has the same helper script (in dnf-plugins-core); and gdb on recent Fedoras (at least) will enumerate the entire listing when it's loaded for you.
