Exactly. OpenJDK generating separate debuginfo files is very inconvenient for RPM builds. > It sounds kind of strange that find-debuginfo.sh wouldn't be able to > use already generated debuginfo files. The OpenJDK build can't have any idea of what debuginfo files the distro runtime requires, and indeed this may change. There is more than one mechanism for finding debuginfo. Separating debuginfo is not something that we want the OpenJDK build to do, and the most useful thing that we could have is a switch to turn all of OpenJDK's stripping and separate debuginfo off. I expect the same applies to all distros. Andrew.
