Hi folks Currently we build debug infos only for selected images for size reasons.
A recent gcc compiler supports to not emit structure debug informations.
This drastically reduces the amount of data produced. However it also
makes it impossible to debug into structures, so it is only usefull for
gathering line numbers of problems.
This setting reduces the size by 70%:
1527674 debug-full/linux-image-2.6.37-trunk-amd64-dbg
399288
debug-full/linux-image-2.6.37-trunk-amd64-dbg_2.6.37-1~experimental.2_amd64.deb
510118 debug-reduced/linux-image-2.6.37-trunk-amd64-dbg
117152
debug-reduced/linux-image-2.6.37-trunk-amd64-dbg_2.6.37-1~experimental.2_amd64.deb
Maybe this could be used to enable the possibility to do limited
debugging on all images without emiting too much preasure on the
buildd/archive.
