This repository is now archived. Nowadays, Archlinux provides debug information as part of their official packages, via their Debuginfod server. When you set DEBUGINFOD_URLS="https://debuginfod.archlinux.org/" in your environment, tools like gdb will automatically download debug information.

qt-debug-pkgbuild

Archlinux PKGBUILDs for Qt5/PyQt5 with debugging enabled.

A note on branches

• upstream: The vanilla Archlinux upstream packages.
• master: Based on upstream, adds debugging symbols.

Precompiled binary packages

Binary packages for the master branch are available as an unofficial Archlinux repo. See the qutebrowser documentation for details.

Workflow

Until Qt 5.7, the patched PKGBUILDs lived in the master branch, and the upstream branch (with the vanilla Archlinux PKGBUILDs) got merged into upstream after updating. However, this caused frequent merge conflicts as the patched lines are close to the version number.

Since Qt 5.7, there are no merges anymore - instead, the updated upstream PKGBUILDs live in the upstream branch, and patching is automated using patch.sh.

Here is how an update looks:

Update upstream

• git checkout upstream
• bash update.sh
• git status, add new files
• git diff, review upstream changes
• `git commit -am "Update to Qt 5.x.y"
• git push

Update patched PKGBUILDs

• git checkout master
• git rm -r qt5-* pyqt*
• git checkout upstream -- qt5-\* pyqt\* pkglist
• git reset HEAD . (unstage all changes)
• bash patch.sh
• git status, add/delete files
• git diff --staged, review
• git commit
• Add new makedepends in Dockerfile if needed
• git commit
• git push

Rebuild

• bash build_segfault.sh
