Re: [CentOS-devel] debuginfo packages on the mirrors

Nope, we (mirror.nsc.liu.se) get those packages from the CentOS msync-dvd mirrors. I just verified that the files are present on both centose and centosj3 which is the ones our rsync usually hit.

Let me investigate this issue - the packages are definitely gone from the repo-head.

However I think having debuginfo packages for the kernel in the main repository would really be a good thing as tools like oprofile and systemtap (both in base) need kernel-debuginfo to be usable.

Thats a diff issue all together :) It does mean adding to the overall weight of the main repo's quite a lot though.
