The argument in favor of splitdebug is that it allows users to give useful bugreports when using tools such as gnome's bug-buddy. Currently, gentoo users provide very little useful information because everything is stripped. And it only adds a few hundred megs and its easy to disable. Probably should be explained in the handbook if we make it the default. --=20 Olivier Cr=C3=AAte tester@gentoo.org Gentoo Developer --=20 gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
