Hi all I'm trying to assemble a mirror of old package versions from apt.postgresql.org and yum.postgresql.org, as I'm encountering more and more cases where I really need debuginfo for a package but the user hasn't installed it. The repos only keep the last couple of builds, so it quickly becomes impossible to install debuginfo (or contribs, etc) matching a user's version.
For !debuginfo that's not too bad. I just upgrade the server. But for debuginfo it's a real problem because I often want to debug a core that comes from a very specific build. I can't do that with another version's debuginfo. Or I want to debug an in-progress process and I'll lose the very state I want to look at if I restart the server into a new build where I can get matching debuginfos. Not coincidentally, if anyone happens to have a copy of postgresql-9.6-dbg_9.6.5-1.pgdg80+1_amd64.deb anywhere, or has it installed, *please* get in touch. I have a system with a semi-reproducible buffer table corruption issue that only happens after multiple months, and it turns out the user doesn't have debuginfo... -- Craig Ringer http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services
