Hi all,

I use to install AUR package fotoxx. I get some zappcrash message when closing the application an would like to help the author finding the bug.

The author sent adapted source packages to get more debugging information. I tried change the PKGBUILD's "pkgrel"- variable to generate several packages containing debugging symbols, but at the end of the build this message looks suspicous:

.. -> Stripping unneeded symbols from binaries and libraries... ..

What makes packages keep debugging symbols?

Tips? Keywords for wiki search?

Any hints welcome :o)) -- Friedrich

See PKGBUILD(5). You need to add !strip to the options. Or perhaps a better way is to use the debug option.
