You could deliver the (relevant, not all) debuginfo packages only individually to bugzilla reporters after final, if and as necessary.
My interest is that of a mirror admin only, but I am sure if you would let your marketing/statistics experts decide, they would do it "my way".
that would be very short sighted. not all debugging happens for bugreporting to us. i often report bugs to upstream. but there it helps to have full backtraces without any "???" in them.
Just sending out debuginfo packages on request would make openSUSE a rather bad developer platform.
Not on request - on bug report if necessary.
Any real statistics over bugzilla reports could clear the view here, I'm sure.
I really guess that almost any individual delivering a bugzilla report would deliver it without initial access/use of a debuginfo package too, and solutions which need debuginfo package reports would still be achievable - just the reporting individual would need one additional step.
and again how does the developer fit into your picture? he sits at home and debugs his app and wants the whole backtrace through all libs. should he open a bugreport to get the required packages?
Why not, for such rare cases? Again, I would like to see your decision depend on real statistics. Viele Grüße Eberhard Mönkeberg (emoenke@gwdg.de, em@kki.org)
