Err, I think you misunderstand, or maybe I misunderstand you. If you encounter a crash, recompiling like so will give you a package that gives better backtraces: DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=noopt,nostrip debuild That is, as long as the packaging supports it. Normally packages are built with -g -O2, and the debugging info is stripped by dh_strip, which checks DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS and strips only when nostrip isn't present. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
