Hi! |
| 12 |
|

I generally agree to this and think this is the way to go (the same for |
| 14 |
gnome-stuff). The only problem with this is that it's hell for us to |
| 15 |
help users when they have problem since they can't provide any |
| 16 |
information about what went wrong, only that something did went wrong. |

I had a problem with Gnumeric the other day which was that it segfaulted |
| 19 |
on one of my computer but not on the other. It turned out to be a bug in |
| 20 |
Gnumeric (now fixed) but the reason it segfaulted on one of my computers |
| 21 |
was that I had built glib with --disable-debug on the machine where it |
| 22 |
segfaulted. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
This is a performance-gain for the user and a real debugging-loss for |
| 25 |
us. :) Most other distributions build with --enable-debug ASAIK. |
