Hi,

One of the biggest problems about debugging on mobile devices running
MeeGo is that our debuginfo packages currently contain the entire
source of the software. While this is nice for stepping through source
code, it is horrible for simple backtraces that QA can use - as the
needed debuginfo are too big for typical SD cards. Qt debuginfo as an
example is -huge- to install :)

openSUSE is having since 2008 debuginfo packages for the debug symbols
and debugsources for the sources of the software in question on top of
that, for those that want to step through code to debug deeper.

Since this looks like a relatively straightforward patch, as seen at:

https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file?file=debugsource-package.diff&package=rpm&project=openSUSE%3AFactory&srcmd5=3b22d3db294c852fb824c0b11f49d51b

Would it be accepted if I submitted a patch that added this
functionality to our rpm (or the 4.9 work that is ongoing)?

I personally think this could make our platform development a lot easier.

Best regards,
Carsten Munk
