We don't normally retain the debuginfo ... neither does RH make it available.
Since they don't, it'd be nice if CentOS would.
As I said, we will start retaining them, but you are the only person to ever ask for them :)
I am trying to retain it for new packages (as someone has asked) but it won't be on the normal mirrors. There will be one machine (vault.centos.org) that will get debuginfo.
Is there a particular reason to throw it away? Or is it just that it takes a lot of space? I'd like to have it in our mirror here.... I think it's more generally useful than, say, the two s390 trees.
Space is a consideration ... and non use. Providing them isn't hard ... it does require re-writing all my build scripts ... But I see no reason to replicate the debuginfo to 50 mirrors :)
CentOS is the only rebuild currently doing s390 or s390x ... and soon we hope to be the only rebuild to have a released ppc as well. That is one of the things that makes us the best distro available :) (I might be a bit biased on the distro rankings, though)
