RHBA-2018:3567 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

New devtoolset-8-dwz packages are now available as a part of Red Hat Developer Toolset 8.0 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Description

The dwz command-line utility attempts to optimize DWARF debugging information contained in ELF shared libraries and ELF executables for size. It replaces DWARF information representation with an equivalent smaller representation where possible, and reduces the amount of duplication by using techniques from the DWARF Standard, Appendix E. The devtoolset-8-dwz packages provide the Red Hat Developer Toolset version of dwz.

This enhancement update adds the devtoolset-8-dwz packages to Red Hat Developer Toolset. (BZ#1287003)

For detailed changes, see the Red Hat Developer Toolset 8.0 User Guide linked from the References section.

All users who require devtoolset-8-dwz are advised to install these new packages.
