Hi,
Thanks for working on dbgsym support for reprepro.
In the actual implementation we got live now, there are a couple of
changes though.
* The dbgsym packages use the .deb extension
* The primary indicator of a dbgsym file is the header
"Auto-Built-Package", which is set to (exactly) "debug-symbols"
* Further validation that can/should be done:
- The package name should end with "-dbgsym"
- The package should be in section "debug" (possibly in a *non*
main component)
* If it sees a package "foo-dbgsym" with the header, then it should
also assert that a package called "foo" is uploaded. The latter
should be listed in the control file.
In DAK / the Debian infrastructure, the dbgsym packages are placed in a
separate component called "<suite>-debug". The current mirror is
available at [1].
Thanks,
