Bug 79481 – Portage should not run strip for packages that have the debug flag set.

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 55708
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Alexandre Oliveira 2005-01-25 08:47:47 UTC]

If I set debug flag in some packages (using packages.use), it means I want these packages to have the debug symbols. However, portage runs strip on them after compiling, making the debug useflag useless.
I'm aware I can put FEATURES="nostrip" in make.conf, but I do want it to run in all my packages, except the few ones I need to debug. 

In my opinion, strip should not run if the debug flag is set.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set the use flag debug for some package in packages.use;
2.emerge this package. Portage will run strip at the end (unless the ebuild tells it not to);
Actual Results:  
The program doesn't have debug symbols.

Expected Results:  
As the debug flag is set, the symbols should be there.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea to set a new presidence by allowing USE flags to control FEATURES=
