:term:`PACKAGE_DEBUG_SPLIT_STYLE`
- Determines how to split up the binary and debug information when
- creating ``*-dbg`` packages to be used with the GNU Project Debugger
- (GDB).
-
- With the :term:`PACKAGE_DEBUG_SPLIT_STYLE` variable, you can control
- where debug information, which can include or exclude source files,
- is stored:
-
- - ".debug": Debug symbol files are placed next to the binary in a
- ``.debug`` directory on the target. For example, if a binary is
- installed into ``/bin``, the corresponding debug symbol files are
- installed in ``/bin/.debug``. Source files are placed in
- ``/usr/src/debug``.
-
- - "debug-file-directory": Debug symbol files are placed under
- ``/usr/lib/debug`` on the target, and separated by the path from
- where the binary is installed. For example, if a binary is
- installed in ``/bin``, the corresponding debug symbols are
- installed in ``/usr/lib/debug/bin``. Source files are placed in
- ``/usr/src/debug``.
-
- - "debug-without-src": The same behavior as ".debug" previously
- described with the exception that no source files are installed.
-
- - "debug-with-srcpkg": The same behavior as ".debug" previously
- described with the exception that all source files are placed in a
- separate ``*-src`` pkg. This is the default behavior.
+ Determines how to split up and package debug and source information
+ when creating debugging packages to be used with the GNU Project
+ Debugger (GDB). In general, based on the value of this variable,
+ you can combine the source and debug info in a single package,
+ you can break out the source into a separate package that can be
+ installed independently, or you can choose to not have the source
+ packaged at all.
+
+ The possible values of :term:`PACKAGE_DEBUG_SPLIT_STYLE` variable:
+
+ - "``.debug``": All debugging and source info is placed in a single
+ ``*-dbg`` package; debug symbol files are placed next to the
+ binary in a ``.debug`` directory so that, if a binary is installed
+ into ``/bin``, the corresponding debug symbol file is installed
+ in ``/bin/.debug``. Source files are installed in the same ``*-dbg``
+ package under ``/usr/src/debug``.
+
+ - "``debug-file-directory``": As above, all debugging and source info
+ is placed in a single ``*-dbg`` package; debug symbol files are
+ placed entirely under the directory ``/usr/lib/debug`` and separated
+ by the path from where the binary is installed, so that if a binary
+ is installed in ``/bin``, the corresponding debug symbols are installed
+ in ``/usr/lib/debug/bin``, and so on. As above, source is installed
+ in the same package under ``/usr/src/debug``.
+
+ - "``debug-with-srcpkg``": Debugging info is placed in the standard
+ ``*-dbg`` package as with the ``.debug`` value, while source is
+ placed in a separate ``*-src`` package, which can be installed
+ independently. This is the default setting for this variable,
+ as defined in Poky's ``bitbake.conf`` file.
+
+ - "``debug-without-src``": The same behavior as with the ``.debug``
+ setting, but no source is packaged at all.
+
+ .. note::
+
+ Much of the above package splitting can be overridden via
+ use of the :term:`INHIBIT_PACKAGE_DEBUG_SPLIT` variable.
