Hi! I helped develop the elfutils “debuginfod” software, and help operate the corresponding Fedora public services. It turns out openmandriva does build this software, but the distro does not appear to take full advantage. I can’t include a link to it here, but google “elfutils debuginfod”, you’ll find the project home page on sourceware dot org.
I’m curious whether y’all have any interest & capacity in setting up a public server to provide debuginfo to your users. It’s pretty lightweight and makes developer life easier. If so, I’d be glad to help/consult.
If you don’t find what you are looking for, try an Internet search. One can find out a lot from documentation or forum posts at other Linux distros. If user finds something written for another distro but you have some doubt ask at OpenMandriva Chat.
For serious technical issues and package/feature requests please file a bug report here.
Note: We are a small group. All the contributors and developers here are unpaid volunteers.
You can make OpenMandriva grow and improve by getting involved
Any help with testing would be appreciated whether one is technically proficient or a very non-technical user. The more people and more hardware we can get involved the better we can make OMLx releases and packaging. We do a lot of testing in VM’s as well. Developers tend to use Qemu, most user level testers use VirtualBox.
I am an OM Contributor but not a developer and would be speaking above my pay grade ($0) on this. Please contact our developers on OM-Chat. There very well may be interest on this.
