Okay, this is a bit anticipated by my blog post and by what I've been doing |
2 |
tonight instead of sleeping :P |
3 |
|

Basically I'm trying to get cleaned up what I have in /usr/lib/debug when |
5 |
using splitdebug, getting rid of stuff that gets stripped there... mostly |
6 |
it's because of errors in packages or in portage, but there is stuff that is |
7 |
not depending on either of them, and it's the case of binary packages for |
8 |
instance. |
9 |
|
10 |
skype, blackdown-jdk, rar, opera, openoffice-bin, they are all stripped by |
11 |
upstream, but passes through portage's prepstrip, so they get stripped again |
12 |
and the missing debug info is tried to be copied in /usr/lib/debug. |
13 |
|
14 |
One alternative is to add nostrip to the restrict of those packages, so that |
15 |
prepallstrip is skipped and extra files are not created. |
16 |
That is what I've done with emul-x86-* packages and mplayer-bin, but I'm not |
17 |
100% sure how it is the idea for the other binary proprietary stuff. |
18 |
|
19 |
I hope we can agree on something that allows to have a better experience with |
20 |
the new features of portage 2.1 :) |
