hi,

when I run `makepkg`, it generates a second package with the `-debug`
"extension" (eg. `mypackage-w.x.y-z-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst` and
`mypackage-debug-w.x.y-z-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst`).

I couldn't find anything about this on the wiki : is this a new feature
and/or is there a parameter to pass to `makepkg` to avoid building it ?

regards, lacsaP.

You are building a split package [0]. Thats a feature, not a bug.

That's not a split package, it's a package built with debug symbols for analyses and debugging purposes.

See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Debuginfod for more info.
