There is already a patch [1] in bugzilla that does that.. And in bonus |
| 10 |
to keeping the debug files (currently in <libpath>/.debug/libname.so.dbg |
| 11 |
but that can be changed) . It can also keep the source files |
| 12 |
in /usr/src/debug so they can loaded by gdb (pretty useful when |
| 13 |
debugging into libraries). |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
It creates 3 new features, keepdebug, keepdebugbin and keepsources |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
keepdebug will keep the debug symbols for libs |
| 18 |
keepdebugbin will keep then for non-lib binaries |
| 19 |
and keepsources will keep the related sources.. |
