This also has a button to automagically install missing debug libs -- or is the latter a Kubuntu patch? IMHO it would be useful if FreeBSD had binary debug libs for KDE available, i.e. generally I use the normal libs, but when some app crashes, "Dr. Konqi" loads the appropiate debug lib(s) and I can send a qualified bug report to KDE. Maybe it's possible via compiler switches that the normal libs contain only hooks to debug info, and the debug libs contains only the additional infos? Then, the next thing is KDE from ports. This could probably be adjusted, too. I.e. in general, I don't want debug libs for my ports, but for KDE -- well, it's a very complex biest and we all would like to see it more stable, right? Or is this a PC-BSD special, i.e. FreeBSD does it like I propose and PC-BSD maintains it's own patched tree? Anyway, I'm considering to come "down" to plain FreeBSD next week or so. Thanx in advance! >How-To-Repeat: see above >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
