BTW. All packages/versions can be found in koji for fedora. e.g. for glibc:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=57

I admit I don't know. I poked a bit and even for fc17 not all glibc rpms
seem to have been imported. But for example this one is:
https://darkserver.fedoraproject.org/rpm2buildids/glibc-2.15-37.fc17.i686

Which then gives you lots of buildids to play with like:
https://darkserver.fedoraproject.org/buildids/1a6724864a20a8124878efd04edfc1b05ef3d5c3
with which you can then find the correct .debug file, etc.

But yeah, it is less usefull if it doesn't contain all packages of the
distro. Kushal probably knows more what it will take to get it "complete".

BTW. The source code of darkserver is here:
https://github.com/kushaldas/darkserver
In case you want to setup your own with other packages imported.

Cheers,
