It allows some hacks on the debug info. For example the debug info records |
| 8 |
the location where the source was when the executable was built. |
| 9 |
Debugedit allows one to change this to some other location. As one |
| 10 |
doesn't want to retain the source in /var/tmp, this is probably a good |
| 11 |
idea. Besides that one can use debugedit to find out which files are |
| 12 |
involved and put only those at the other location. |
