Hello Guix! I’ve just watched Mark’s very nice talk about debuginfod and and I’d like to work towards running an instance of it on ci.guix.gnu.org:
https://fosdem.org/2020/schedule/event/debugging_debuginfod/ What’s missing today is configuring GCC with ‘--enable-linker-build-id’ (which is not the default, unlike what Mark says in the talk :-)). If we do that, I wonder if we can stop using ‘.gnu_debuglink’ (see the ‘strip’ phase in (guix build gnu-build-system)). Also, I suspect build IDs wouldn’t mesh well with grafting: unless we rewrite them, the same build ID would match both the ungrafted and the grafted variant. Is that a problem? Not sure. (Currently (guix build debug-link) recomputes ‘.gnu_debuglink’ upon grafting so that the links remain valid.) Thoughts? Thanks, Ludo’. PS: I found Eelco Dolstra’s dwarffs to be very smart, too! https://github.com/edolstra/dwarffs
