Packages built yourself with noopt+nostrip (where supported) would produce the better backtraces. Ubuntu already creates debug symbols for their whole archive: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2006-September/000195.html https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AptElfDebugSymbols https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/apt-get-debug-symbols This would be a nice thing to have in Debian, especially moving dbg packages to a separate archive. There are some possible problems with this; for eg packages like openoffice which are very big and far bigger with debug symbols. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
