Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-12-21 20:44:30 UTC
dev-util/freeride-0.9.6:20081214-173509.log:  * QA Notice: Pre-stripped files found:
dev-util/freeride-0.9.6:20081214-173509.log:  * /var/tmp/portage/dev-util/freeride-0.9.6/image/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/freeride/redist/i686-linux/rrb_reflection.so


Portage warns about pre-stripped files being installed into the image directory; this is a bad thing since it makes Portage's splitdebug feature useless, and it stops the users and the developers from looking into backtraces with full debug information available.

For the developers going to look into it, what you have to look out for, to
find what is stripping the files, is one of these conditions:

- explicit "strip" command run on the produced files;
- "install -s" command to install the binary files;
- "-Wl,-s" flag passed during linking

Remove the "strip" commands, remove the "-s" option at install, and remove
"-Wl,-s" and the problem should be gone.

Thanks,
Diego

There are 32 section headers, starting at offset 0x3740:

Section Headers:

I think freeride actually installs BROKEN elf files.

Removal?

Comment 3 Hans de Graaff gentoo-dev Security 2008-12-29 09:36:57 UTC
These .so files are shipped by upstream because (from redist/README(:

  - It makes things easier for the FreeRIDE users. FreeRIDE works
    out of the box.

  - It eases developer works because we know exactly what module
    version we are working with.

The upstream archive does not seem to provide a way to rebuild these modules. I guess it should be possible to find the original packages and install them as dependencies, but that is going to be quite a bit of work.

+1 on removal by treecleaners from me, unless someone wants to maintain this.
Comment 4 Matti Bickel (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-06-13 21:34:32 UTC
I tried. But freeride is broken anyway, as it depends on fxruby:1.4 only, which is only very vaguely supported upstream.

Sad, but it's removal is actually a good thing.
Comment 5 Hans de Graaff gentoo-dev Security 2009-07-13 07:29:00 UTC
The package never got properly masked, so I've just done this. Will be removed in 30 days.
Comment 6 Hans de Graaff gentoo-dev Security 2009-08-14 09:13:27 UTC
dev-util/freeride has now been removed from the tree.
