Roland, I don''t suppose any of the recent changes I seem to recall hearing you were going to make to debuginfo might have anything to do with this... --jarod ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Re: rawhide report: 20080130 changes Date: Wednesday 30 January 2008 From: Jarod Wilson <jwilson@redhat.com> To: fedora-devel-list@redhat.com On Wednesday 30 January 2008 10:57:18 am Jarod Wilson wrote:> On Wednesday 30 January 2008 10:47:16 am Ralf Ertzinger wrote: > > Hi. > > > > On Wed, 30 Jan 2008 09:48:21 -0500, Build System wrote: > > > kernel-2.6.24-9.fc9 > > > ------------------- > > > * Tue Jan 29 2008 John W.

Investibigating...Something is horked with debug stripping. All the massive kernels have unnaturally small -debuginfo packages. We''ll get that fixed... -- Jarod Wilson jwilson@redhat.com

Okay, back to the drawing board... :) -- Jarod Wilson jwilson@redhat.com

Okay, back to the drawing board... :)Chuck figured it out. The output of file 4.23 when looking at unstripped binaries changed, which broke find-debuginfo.sh... :\ -- Jarod Wilson jwilson@redhat.com

My head hurts like hell right now, and I can''t seem to get anything right... It seems the new file only has issues with .ko files, other binaries it reports on as it always has. -- Jarod Wilson jwilson@redhat.com

I just used eu-unstrip to reassemble a module with the full debuginfo and file still doesn''t say anything about it...
