</div>I've somewhat belatedly gotten around to using this and encountered a<br>
couple of issuettes:<br>
<br>
1. There was a spurious-looking RRECOMMENDS_${PN}-dbg in bitbake.conf<br>
which was causing ${PN} to be dragged into the image whenever ${PN}-dbg<br>
was installed. This is undesirable because it means that, for example,<br>
any image which includes sysvinit-pidof will end up installing sysvinit<br>
and this might cause quite drastic changes to the behaviour of the<br>
resulting image.<br>
<br>
2. Having fixed the above I'm now left with a couple of file conflicts<br>
in the -dbg packages. For example, sysvinit and util-linux both<br>
ship /sbin/sulogin and so sysvinit-dbg and util-linux-dbg both want to<br>
install /sbin/.debug/sulogin. This is unfortunate if you have an image<br>
which uses, say, sysvinit-pidof and util-linux-blkid.<br>
<br>
I'm not quite sure what the right way to fix (2) is. I suppose in an<br>
ideal world the -dbg packages would be separated in the same way the<br>
parent binary packages are, but that doesn't look entirely<br>
straightforward to arrange.</blockquote></div><br>I had implemented something along these lines back in oe classic, when I was at MontaVista. See <a href="http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded/tree/classes/package_dbg.bbclass">http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded/tree/classes/package_dbg.bbclass</a> for that implementation. I haven't touched it or tried using it in some time, however.<br>
