elfutils debuginfod is a client/server in elfutils 0.178+
that automatically distributes elf/dwarf/source-code from
servers to clients such as debuggers across HTTP.

servers
Anyone may run debuginfod servers for their private purposes.
Software publishers are invited to run public servers for use
by the community. Heck, anyone may run servers based on
redistributable artifacts from others. To configure a client
tool to use them, simply add any of the server URLs to
your $DEBUGINFOD_URLS environment variable
(space-separated). The following public services currently
[2020-02] welcome users.
The first one federates to all the
others, so
export DEBUGINFOD_URLS=https://debuginfod.elfutils.org/
export DEBUGINFOD_PROGRESS=1
alone will get you to all of them, plus request
basic progress diagnostics.
