thanks Dominique. from that document, it seems like the debug USE flag
is actually not meant to create a debug build of the package, only as a
"a last-chance card". so now i am totally confused ;) there seems to
be no automated way that my weak ebuild skills can conjure up to make
the ardour-2.9999 ebuild prevent stripping if the debug USE flag is
enabled. my last attempt, setting FEATURES="nostrip" in response to the
debug flag being set, have done nothing.
anyone have more suggestions? or does one really have to use
FEATURES="${FEATURES} splitdebug" manually every time a debug build is
required? it seems odd that a debug use flag produces a binary without
debug symbols?
thanks again.
peace, w
