Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

2008-10-05 10:34:01 UTC

Tracking here all the packages that install files pre-stripped (and thus disallow portage splitdebug feature from working, and even if the user wants to have full debug info to look into backtraces).

For the developers going to look into it, what you have to look out for, to find what is stripping the files, is one of these conditions:

- explicit "strip" command run on the produced files;
- "install -s" command to install the binary files;
- "-Wl,-s" flag passed during linking

Remove the "strip" commands, remove the "-s" option at install, and remove "-Wl,-s" and the problem should be gone.
