Description Dodji Seketeli 2018-01-09 15:19:12 UTC 
kmidiff lacks options specifying where to find split debug info for the Linux kernel binaries it's comparing.  This is because the primary intent of kmidiff was to compare Linux kernel binaries that the developer built herself; in that case, the debug info for those binaries are not split.

But then one can be willing to compare binaries coming from, e.g, an RPM.  In that case the debug info is split.  So we need to support that.

This should now be fixed in the master branch of the git repository, and should be available in the coming 1.1 version.
