            Bug ID: 27351
           Summary: please add a debugedit binary to elfutils
           Product: elfutils
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: tools
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: doko at debian dot org
                CC: elfutils-devel at sourceware dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

please consider adding a debugedit binary to elfutils. Currently this is
shipped within the rpm sources, however distribution as a separate tool would
also benefit people not requiring rpm, like https://bugs.debian.org/981245

I second this.

The only technical complication I see is that debugedit uses Autotest for
testing while the rest of elfutils uses tests driven by Automake.

--- Comment #2 from christian.morales.vega at gmail dot com ---
I would like that, and more. I would like something doing everything
rpm/debugedit do so I can run something similar to

./extract_debuginfo_to_use_with_debuginfod -d <my_staging_dir>

So debugedit + find-debuginfo.sh +
https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/commit/bbfe1f86b2e4b5c0bd499d9f3dd9de9c9c20fff2

If I could

./extract_debuginfo_to_use_with_debuginfod -d <staging_dir> -u
<my_debuginfod_server>

to directly extract+upload the debug information to my debuginfod server it
would be my ideal workflow.

We should obviously discuss with the rpm maintainers. But I think it might
actually be easier to have debugedit be its own project, just like e.g. dwz is.
Then it can have its own release schedule and the build setup can be small and
easy. Using autoconf autotests will then also be more natural.

And should it just be debugedit itself or also the find-debuginfo.sh script
that rpm ships. That one is more integrated/tied to rpm at the moment. But
might also be useful independently.

If debugedit (and possibly find-debuginfo.sh) would be released independently
of rpm then making sure things keep being compatible is really important. We'll
probably need to add a buildbot that builds/tests the project together for
that.

But first we need to know what the rpm maintainers think of this idea. It would
probably be a good idea to raise this on the
http://lists.rpm.org/mailman/listinfo/rpm-ecosystem mailinglist.

Note that The Rpm-ecosystem Archives is likely out of date, the latest month is
"June 2020".
I would rather create an issue here:
https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/issues

Us rpm maintainers are all +100 for splitting debugedit out of rpm, it's only
there for historical reasons and would be better off directly maintained closer
to home with other ELF tooling.

rpm-ecosystem may be quiet but is fine for purposes of discussion. GitHub
ticket would be just painful as Mark is not on GH.

Now that there is a separate debugedit project https://sourceware.org/debugedit
I think we can close this elfutils bug.
