That's the real issue. The server would need to hold all the debug symbols from all the kde binaries of all the kde versions of all the possible distributions (and variants of them; for example, 2 gentoo users building with different USE flags may have two kde versions that are binary incompatible with each other). This simply doesn't scale. >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
