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.
