What do you mean by ooinstaller? Just the single ooinstall script or also also the solenv/bin/modules/installer/* stuff? It is hard to say until we know what is the benefit of stripping. If it makes sense, you need to keep the support for "make install-strip". It will call ooinstall as well. > As far as I can see the use cases we have are: > > Use Case (UC) 1: distro maintainer would build without -g, nothing to > be stripped. This is not true. Many distro maintainers actually build with -g. They later use some magic to put the debug information into separate packages. > UC 2: developer with change, compile, test cycle would build with -g > and install LO with make install oder make dev-install.

But the tests with stripped > artifacts are useless, no deeper analysis is possible. Developer might have the symbols to track the code in debugger to understand how it works. A backtrace from user is useful only for crashes or some other particular problems. It is not useful to check that a functionality works as expected. If you have full debug build, the stripped binaries can safe a lot for download. When I think about it, we want to keep stripping capability in the installer stuff for this purpose. Though, we want to disable it in the default "make install". > Another > argument for not to strip even in this case is a new configure option > that was introduced in the last hackfest to selectively specify the > list of libraries to build with symbols.

I am trying to build without -g and without stripping to get some data. I am going crazy today because the binaries are stripped in solver even when I use --disable-strip-solver. Sigh.
