 Until [1] gets implemented, you will need to use debhelper 9, add a
 mixxx-dbg package to debian/control and override dh_strip to include
 the --dbg-package parameter:

 debian/compat:

 9

 debian/rules:

 override_dh_strip:
 dh_strip --dbg-package=mixxx-dbg

 debian/control:

 Build-Depends: debhelper (= 9)

 Package: mixxx-dbg
 Section: debug
 Architecture: any
 Priority: extra
 Depends:
  mixxx (= ${binary:Version}),
  ${misc:Depends}
 Description: debug files for mixxx
  This package contains debug information for mixxx
  .
  It can be used to debug mixxx using a debugger if it crashes due to
 programming errors.

meaningful backtraces for crashes

2015-01-31 Thread Nico Schlömer 
Hi all,

For Mixxx [1], I would like for users to produce meaningful backtraces
in case of crashes (see [2]). What build options are needed or useful
for debugging purposes? What's the canonical way for adding them to
the Debian packages?

Cheers,
Nico
