DEBUGINFO-INSTALL(1)

πŸ’– DEBUGINFO-INSTALL(1) πŸ’–

okay so bestie, welcome to the debuginfo-install page, which lives in the dnf-plugins-core family (that's the manual name, consider it officially folded in 🫢). Real talk: this page is basically a redirect β€” it points you at the DNF debuginfo-install Plugin, and the plugin is what actually does the thing. The thing being: install all the associated debuginfo packages for a package spec you hand it. Slay. ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

debuginfo-install β€” redirecting to DNF debuginfo-install Plugin, and also (the whole point) installing the associated debuginfo packages for a given package specification. no cap, that's the whole vibe. πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

dnf debuginfo-install <pkg-spec>...

πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • <pkg-spec> β€” the package you want the associated debuginfo package installed for. that's it, that's the assignment. πŸ’œ

✨ OPTIONS ✨

All general DNF options are accepted, see Options in dnf(8) for details. like, every single one, go look, iykyk. πŸ‘‘


🌈 CONFIGURATION 🌈

The config file lives at:

/etc/dnf/plugins/debuginfo-install.conf

The minimal content of the conf file should contain main sections with the enabled and autoupdate parameters. (yes, minimum effort, but it's giving necessary. πŸŽ€)

autoupdate

A boolean option which controls updates of debuginfo packages. If the option is enabled and there are debuginfo packages installed, it automatically enables all configured debuginfo repositories. (Disabled by default β€” so if you're wondering why nothing's happening, that's why bestie 😭)


πŸ”₯ EXAMPLES πŸ”₯

  • dnf debuginfo-install foobar Install the debuginfo packages for the foobar package. easy. iconic. 🫢
