Subject: [PULL][PATCH 0/1] package.bbclass: fix image_debugfs symlinks
Date: Thu,  8 Oct 2020 09:59:25 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1602083275.git.whauser@meraki.com> (raw)

The debugfs does not contain any symlinks, causing gdb to be unable to locate
libraries whose minor versions are abstracted out by using symlinks.
i.e. executables link against libpcap.so/libpcap.so.1, not libpcap.so.1.9.1

This is a result a flawed fstat meant to stop broken symlinks from being copied
to the debugfs. My suggested change removes this fstat in favor of an earlier
check for broken symlinks that is already performed. More details in the commit
message.

This change was tested by examining libpcap's build artifacts.

debugfs/usr/lib/.debug/ contents before:
libpcap.so.1.9.1

debugfs/usr/lib/.debug/ contents after:
libpcap.so -> libpcap.so.1
libpcap.so.1 -> libpcap.so.1.9.1
libpcap.so.1.9.1
