Re: [Usability] debugger installed by default



hi,

the gnome-bugsquad list would be a place for this, though i can probably
answer your email here.

hmm, i also asked myself the same question:
http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/2006/12/17/install-debug-packages-now/

the current plan is to use google breakpad support, so that a coredump
file gets created, sent to the server, and on the server the stacktrace
with debug symbols and line numbers will be "created" (hope i got it
right, i'm not a technical guy).
for better info, see for example
http://www.gnome.org/~fherrera/blog/2007/Sep/30 and
http://blogs.gnome.org/ovitters/2007/10/06/crash-gnome-org/ .

for example because users (and especially in a professional environment)
don't have unlimited disc space.
