• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Pablo Cholaky 2009-12-15 19:33:45 UTC]

Hi there

Im using gentoo on a embedded system, and seems a unnecessary existence of debug files of gstreamer =\

Can someone add a "debug" USE flag for gstreamer packages? Thanks!

Reproducible: Always

Could you please be more verbose about what "unnecessary debug files" means to you ?

removing debug stuff in gst gives you less than 1% of improvement.. Its really not worth it. And will cause a lot of point when you get problems.

I want it because my gstreamer packages are using ~30MB of disk space (yes, maybe isnt too much, but is a lot for netbooks)

Unnecessary debug files: /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/gstreamer/*

remove "splitdebug" from FEATURES in your make.conf...
