It's been hashed and rehashed, but I need to bring this up again. Every other popular distro has a way of debugging without completely rebuilding a package, saving countless combined hours.
Why can't we just have a way of installing the symbols?
Not enough manpower...
Allan has already added the features necessary to make this possible.
Why is this so hard? What can I do to help make this a reality?
Well, there has to be a separate [debug] repo which (most importantly) must be kept in-sync with the main ones, or more packages in current repos. Then, someone has to actually build those packages. I would personally prefer that most packages come with debugging enabled by default. Surely, there will be a performance cost, but speed is not crucial in most cases.
