I've uploaded gdb-8.3.50.20190425-10.fc31 which should address these issues.

Doing this doesn't impact the buildroot at all; things will only be
effective when rpm-build is changed to depend/suggest on gdb-minimal.  I
decided to go ahead and perform the split because I wanted to make sure
everything was in place before implementing the change.

This specific commit does not break anything, it is preparation. It does
not break anything or so.

This is the change we actually need to do for implementing change:

Hey Miroslav,

I just would like to clarify that the change will actually not require
any modification from mock's perspective.  The final split of the GDB
package will work like this:

- gdb-minimal will provide /usr/bin/gdb.minimal.

- gdb will probide /usr/bin/gdb, and /usr/bin/gdb-add-index (which is
   the script the buildroot ultimate uses).

- /usr/bin/gdb-add-index will check if there's a /usr/bin/gdb.minimal
   binary available, and use it.  Otherwise, it will fallback to
   /usr/bin/gdb.

Therefore, no Conflicts was needed, which means that even if a package
being built depends on gdb, no problems should arise.


Are you sure that the description is correct?

If /usr/bin/gdb-add-index is to be provided by "gdb" package, the "gdb-minimal" 
package has no reason.


It seems to me according to the change, that the thing needs to be done the 
other way around:


- gdb will probide /usr/bin/gdb
- gdb-minimal will provide /usr/bin/gdb.minimal and /usr/bin/gdb-add-index

- /usr/bin/gdb-add-index will check if there's a /usr/bin/gdb binary available, 
and use it.  Otherwise, it will fallback to /usr/bin/gdb.minimal


What am I not getting?


I've get gdb-minimal from 
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1259881


When I install gdb-minimal ito the buildroot and remove all othe gdb packages:

# rpm -qa | grep gdb
gdb-minimal-8.3.50.20190425-9.fc31.x86_64

I don't have /usr/bin/gdb-add-index:

# /usr/bin/gdb-add-index
sh: /usr/bin/gdb-add-index: No such file or directory

In order to get it, I need gdb-headless:

# dnf install gdb-headless
# rpm -qf /usr/bin/gdb-add-index
gdb-headless-8.3.50.20190425-9.fc31.x86_64

But that brings in the packages that we shall no longer have:

  gdb-headless-8.3.50.20190425-9.fc31.x86_64
  boost-regex-1.69.0-6.fc30.x86_64
  ctags-5.8-25.fc30.x86_64
  elfutils-default-yama-scope-0.176-1.fc30.noarch
  elfutils-libs-0.176-1.fc30.x86_64
  gdbm-libs-1:1.18-4.fc30.x86_64
  glib2-2.61.0-2.fc31.x86_64
  libbabeltrace-1.5.6-2.fc30.x86_64

   - /usr/bin/gdb-add-index — Executable script shared with gdb-headless

gdb-add-index is in both gdb-minimal and gdb-headless.

Just a heads-up: the binary will be named "/usr/bin/gdb.minimal".  I
have already updated the wiki with this information.

FWIW, a new version of GDB is building right now on Fedora Rawhide:

gdb-8.3.50.20190425-9.fc31

This version will contain the new gdb-minimal package, ready to be used
by the buildroot.

Thanks,

Hi Ben,

AFAIK that part of the gdb is used only to separate debuginfo in
%post_install.
Some times ago IIRC for exactly the same operation was used eu-strip used
-o to save stripped part in debuginfo files.
Even if eu-strip is not doing stripping correctly better would be better to
fix it or modify binutils strip to implement -o option from elfutils strip.
Using gdb for saving debuginfo looks like overkill and elfutils is +10
smaller and depends only on glibc.

$ rpm -q --qf "%{NAME}\t%{SIZE}\n" gdb-headless elfutils
gdb-headless 18123356
elfutils 1245125

Re: Fedora 31 Self-Contained Change proposal: Minimal GDB in buildroot

2019-04-28 Thread Igor Gnatenko
When I was filing mock's issue, I was still discussing how we can implement
this in GDB. This particular change does not require any mock / config
changes. gdb-minimal will not conflict with gdb..

Although that mock feature is useful on its own if we ever decide to
replace libcurl with libcurl-minimal and such for build environment.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Minimal_GDB_in_buildroot

== Summary ==
Create gdb-minimal package (without XML support, Python
support, Syntax Highlight and such) and switch to it in buildroot.

== Owner ==
* Name: [[User:ignatenkobrain|Igor Gnatenko]], [[User:sergiodj|Sergio
Durigan Junior]]
* Email: ignatenkobr...@fedoraproject.org, sergi...@sergiodj.net

== Detailed Description ==
Create subpackage in gdb source package called
gdb-minimal that will contain 2 files:
* /usr/libexec/gdb-minimal — GDB executable built without
optional unneeded features
* /usr/bin/gdb-add-index — Executable script shared with
gdb-headless package (modified to fallback to gdb-minimal if exists)

debuginfo code in RPM needs just gdb-add-index and that one doesn't
need any syntax highlight or python plugins to work.

As of Apr 26, following packages would disappear from buildroot:


boost-regex-1.69.0-6.fc30.x86_64
ctags-5.8-25.fc30.x86_64
gdbm-libs-1:1.18-4.fc30.x86_64
libbabeltrace-1.5.6-2.fc30.x86_64
libicu-63.1-2.fc30.x86_64
libipt-2.0-2.fc30.x86_64
python-pip-wheel-19.0.3-1.fc31.noarch
python-setuptools-wheel-40.8.0-1.fc30.noarch
python3-3.7.3-2.fc31.x86_64
python3-libs-3.7.3-2.fc31.x86_64
python3-pip-19.0.3-1.fc31.noarch
python3-setuptools-40.8.0-1.fc30.noarch
source-highlight-3.1.8-24.fc31.x86_64
sqlite-libs-3.27.2-3.fc31.x86_64


== Benefit to Fedora ==
* Python 3 will disappear from buildroot (yes, it was there just because of GDB)
* RPM download size for buildroot preparation will go down from 101M to 85M
* installed buildroot size will go down from 439M to 350M

== Scope ==
* Proposal owners: Create a subpackage in gdb, Add Suggests:
gdb-minimal into rpm-build
* Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
* Release engineering: [https://pagure.io/releng/issue/8311 #8311]
* Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
* Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)

== Upgrade/compatibility impact ==
N/A (not a System Wide Change)

== User Experience ==
Python 3 will disappear from buildroot, but nobody should have ever
relied on it since we have guidelines about that for long time:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#buildrequires

== Dependencies ==
N/A (not a System Wide Change)

== Contingency Plan ==
* Contingency mechanism: (What to do?  Who will do it?) N/A (not a
System Wide Change)
* Contingency deadline: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
* Blocks release? N/A (not a System Wide Change)
