May I suggest you add: What is it? ===========
* ddeb's are Debian packages with the extenstion .ddeb that contain debugging symbols and are built implicitly. - A package foo_1.23.deb will receive a corresponding foo_1.23-dbgsym.ddeb package. - ddebs are built automatically by dh_strip. Or such. The above info is deduced from random bits. I haven't really read the whole thread closely, so my blurp above might be wrong. *t Am 29.06.2015 um 18:17 schrieb Niels Thykier: > Here is another short update on ddeb support in Debian. > > What is missing? > ================ > > * Only known blocker is missing archive/dak support. > > * Once DAK support is implemented, I intend to enable ddebs > unconditionally in debhelper. > > Where are we? > ============= > > * debhelper in unstable can now build ddebs - disabled by default. > - Test with env DH_BUILD_DDEBS=1, but please don't upload ddebs to > any Debian archive. > > * lintian gives no remarks to the new ddebs. > > * dh_strip can now be asked to /not/ build ddebs, if your package for > some reason cannot use them. > - Known cases are: linux (build-id based debug symbols not supported) > and possibly other kernels > > > How can I help? > =============== > > * Please review the documentation in dh_strip(1) and help me improve it > where needed. > > * [Toolchain maintainers] If you maintain that might need to handle > ddebs /differently/ than a regular ddeb (e.g. reprepro), please > look into implementing that. > > * [Derivatives] Please consider upgrading your infrastructure / > tooling if/where needed. > > FAQ > === > > Q: What if my distribution/use-case is ready to build ddebs? > A: Please import debhelper 9.20150628 with the attached patch > cherry-picked. > - Note, if your developers/users moonlight as DDs, please remind > them to build their Debian packages in a clean unstable chroot > with the regular debhelper!
