find-debuginfo.sh: cpio looking into wrong path

[srakitnican]

Don't know what is wrong, these messages appear when package is being created at debuginfo part.

But that seems to be wrong as these are not located at root directories "src/" but instead located in multiple sub-directories od src/ . I am not sure how that happens. debugsources.list file contains correct path to files. I've noticed, though, that paths are not separated by newline, but by NULL character instead, so sort at the beginning of the command does not do anything.

I am able to reproduce it from command line by passing debugsources.list to the following command:

$ LC_ALL=C sort -z -u "/var/lib/mock/fedora-25-x86_64/root/builddir/build/BUILD/timeshift-17.2/debugsources.list" | grep -E -v -z '(<internal>|<built-in>)$' | (cd "/var/lib/mock/fedora-25-x86_64/root/builddir/build/BUILD/"; cpio -pd0mL "/tmp/test")

Hmm, sort is doing the right thing after all, it is sorting by the NULL character instead. debugsources.list does indeed contain those files but with a combination of good ones, I wonder why is that.

[srakitnican]

Copr build are here: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/srakitnican/default/build/600055/

It seems to add all files and that is what it's important, still curious to where does this coming from, though...

[ignatenkobrain]

I think this is a bit common with vala.

Hint: vala generates .c files out of .vala, so usually it is in builddir and buildsystem might insert wrong paths. Or something like this.

Not sure if this is the cause though.

[srakitnican]

The build system is a crude makefile, vala is called like so:

valac Core/*.vala Utility/*.vala  Utility/Gtk/*.vala  Gtk/*.vala -o ${app_name}

The .c files are being generated along with .vala file counterpart. Do you think it is a vala bug?

[pmatilai]

Ok, still easily reproducable by commenting out this:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/timeshift/blob/master/f/timeshift.spec#_71

Whether there's anything rpm can actually do about this I dunno.

[pmatilai]

Debuginfo processing was split to a separate project in rpm 4.17 so even the little chance of doing something about this is gone now. This does look like a Vala thing, but if you think it should be pursued, please re-report at https://sourceware.org/debugedit/
