Automatically download symbols and sources in GDB

The Nix ecosystem have dwarffs[0]. If you generate debug symbols during the build ( not enabled by default ) and save it to the &quot;nix cache&quot;, you can use dwarffs to download it.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;edolstra&#x2F;dwarffs&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;README.md" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;edolstra&#x2F;dwarffs&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;README.md</a>

I strongly encourage developments like that. It’s a shame that Linux and macOS didn’t adopt something like Microsoft’s symbol server. This project could become something like this.<p>If you have an installation like this you can also plug it into Sentry as symbol server and it picks it up.

Any chance that Linux package managers will integrate this for their -dbg packages? I’d rather not fiddle with downloading those along with -src, untarring it, telling GDB where to find the code…
