Bug 1431296 conflicts between kernel-core subpackages on upgrade
Hi,
In case people didn't notice in the somewhat long analysis of the issue in the bug,
the workaround is just a simple oneliner:
diff --git a/kernel.spec b/kernel.spec
index cb3dec8..29c198a 100644
--- a/kernel.spec
+++ b/kernel.spec
@@ -183,6 +183,9 @@ Summary: The Linux kernel
%define _enable_debug_packages 0
%endif
%define debuginfodir /usr/lib/debug
+# Needed because we override almost everything involving build-ids
+# and debuginfo generation. Currently we rely on the old alldebug setting.
+%global _build_id_links alldebug
# kernel PAE is only built on i686 and ARMv7.
%ifnarch i686 armv7hl
Of course it would be nice if someone could cleanup the various places that the
kernel.spec overrides rpm find-debuginfo.sh and debugedit and provides some requirements
that would make this all easier for the kernel build. It looks like the current build does
a lot redundant extra work that might be prevented if rpm provided better hooks to do
automagically what the kernel spec build requires. One thing rpm wants to introduce in the
future (already upstream) is parallel processing of debug files. Which the current
kernel.spec seems to prevent because it serializes the processing itself already.
I would be happy to review any feedback on why the kernel.spec has the current hacks and
suggestions for improvements to make this smoother.
Cheers,
Mark
