1753576 - Pull missing symbols from debuginfod instances

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Crash Reporting, enhancement)

Description

[Gabriele Svelto [:gsvelto]]

Most Linux distros have stood up debuginfod servers. We should make Linux symbol scraping use those wherever possible:

• Arch
• Debian
• Fedora
• OpenSUSE

Note that Ubuntu has not yet stood up its instance and some of the above only cover packages from the rolling distribution, not all versions of the distro, so we have to keep the old scraping infrastructure around for the time being.

We need to pull revision 2b0923643e9c859e00d388b363d2e4be1036dfab of the symbol scrapers, it includes debuginfod support for all the distros in comment 0 plus Ubuntu.

Comment 2

[Jan Alexander Steffens [:heftig]]

Would this also allow us (Arch) to just put the symbols for our Firefox packages into our debuginfod instead of uploading them directly to Mozilla, without hurting the quality of crash reports?

Comment 3

[Gabriele Svelto [:gsvelto]]

Absolutely! We've been scraping Arch packages for a while and sometimes we were missing debug information, but with debuginfod that shouldn't happen anymore. The list of packages that we scrape is here, let me know if something's missing.
