PostgreSQL debug symbols no longer available?
I noticed that as of
https://salsa.debian.org/postgresql/postgresql/-/commit/39f05d009f7d65f0fbd2e016f986ad52c2462fe4,
the PostgreSQL `-dbg` package is no longer available, and there
doesn't appear to be a substitute. I verified that the server binaries
in postgresql-13 are stripped of symbols.
We were using this in production to be able to resolve symbols in perf
output traces. I noticed the PGDG repository still contains `-dbgsym`
packages.
Was this just an oversight, or is there a better way to obtain symbols
without compiling the package ourselves?
