Description:

In trying to track down an issue upstream (https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/13120), we discovered that the kicad package doesn't appear in the debuginfo server.

As noted on that issue, I have a patch to turn on the debug option for `makepkg` (also attached here): which seems to work fine (in that it produces debug info, if not necessarily sensible back traces).

Regarding `-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo`: I turned it on because one of the CMakeLists.txt refers to it ( https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/blob/master/kicad/CMakeLists.txt#L92 ), but it's entirely out of an overabundance of caution that I threw it in there (not because I know it should be).

Namcap seems pretty happy with the resuting package (output attached), though somehow makepkg missed (or knew better than to try?) stripping 'usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/_pcbnew.so' .

   with-debug-opt.patch (0.9 KiB)
   namcap.out (1.3 KiB)
This task depends upon

To date it's been up to maintainer discretion whether to turn on "debug" for individual pkgs or not. In the future it will be turned on by default for all pkgs [1]. It seems like your life could have been easier had it been on here..

Ah, yes indeed it seems like I'm a little early (or late?). Do you know when the future will arrive? i.e. when will that default flow to whatever build infrastructure populates the official repos?

Also, do you know if that would trigger a new build to populate the `kicad-debug` package?

I’ve been meaning to add debug to build options, but keep forgetting. I’m not sure when arch will move to default debug, but I’ll most likely have enabled it before then.
