gdb (16.2-2) unstable; urgency=medium The gdb-multiarch binary package has been reintroduced. In order to try to minimize the final installed size of the package, and acknowledging that most users are likely not going to need a multiarch-capable GDB installed, the gdb-multiarch package has been reintroduced. -- Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@debian.org> Mon, 17 Feb 2025 00:19:12 -0500 gdb (16.0.90.20250111-1~exp2) experimental; urgency=medium The gdb-minimal and gdb-multiarch binary packages have been removed. gdb-minimal contained a stripped-down version of GDB in order to be installed on systems where there was no need for a fully fledged debugger. One of its main benefits was supposed to be its smaller size. In the end, the storage space saved by gdb-minimal was only 1 megabyte, while it increased the maintenance burden (and package build time). For that reason, the package was dropped and the regular gdb package now replaces it. gdb-multiarch shipped a GDB build that supported multiple target architectures. Again, this was a maintenance burden and GDB's build system should be reliable enough so that we can safely enable the supported for *all* target architectures without issues. This is what is now done, and the regular gdb package now ships with support for all supported architectures. -- Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@debian.org> Sun, 19 Jan 2025 01:08:05 -0500
