Alex can certainly explain better. I'm also not sure about arm64 vs aarch64 differences. Here https://github.com/asfernandes/firebird/releases/tag/v4.0.0-aarch64-asfernandes I built a Linux RaspBerry pi and named aarch64 but never published it as official. Adriano |

I would unify the `pdb`, `debuginfo`, etc. into simple `debug` suffix. Probably Alex can clarify, but it really the ARM32/64 for Linux? And if so, do we even need ARM32? -- Mgr. Jiří Činčura https://www.tabsoverspaces.com/ |

Specifically for Android. I suppose this to be reflected in the name cause it's quite possible that we will provide arm64 builds for generic linux. > I'm also not sure about arm64 vs aarch64 differences. That's "serious" difference - exactly like between amd64, x86_64 and x64 :) |

What confusion, debuginfo packages are already listed as a "Debug build" on the download page. If the term is confusing or ambiguous, it already is so in its current form. In other words, consolidating it under the term "debug" shouldn't be a problem. Mark -- Mark Rotteveel |

The windows pdb packages contain complete builds partly because of the requirement that anything installable must be uninstallable. Just dropping a bunch of pdb's into the install dir will soone or later leave a mess behind it. More importantly, it is essential that the symbols exactly match the binaries, otherwise the debugger will complain and the whole exercise will be largely useless. Shipping a complete kit guarantees that everything will match up and can be uninstalled easily. But I agree with Dimitry - we should take care to distinguish kits containing debug symbols from actual 'Debug' builds. Paul -- Paul Reeves http://www.ibphoenix.com Supporting users of Firebird |

Who installs the "debug" binaries? I expect people looking for this is people having a problem and wanting to understand a crash. Then they would need to overwrite their installation or install it in another place. This does not look as a good workflow. It would be easy to drop the debug symbols in their installed location. The install location already has modifiable files that is not uninstalled. If the debug symbols do not matches the executables it probably will not make much harm: - Someone put them there, updated installation and did not updated the debug symbols - Someone did a wrong job - Someone will not have a good experience with the debug - Someone will correct their poor job Adriano |
