Priority Requester: Important Projectmanager: Desirable + openSUSE-11.3: New + Priority + Requester: Important Requested by: Jan Blunck (janblunck) Description: dwarfextract is a tool to postprocess debuginfo. The tools removes duplicate type information caused by linking different compilation units. Currently the tool has only been used to work on the debuginfo of the kernel package. The tools should be extended so that it can be used in the buildsystem to postprocess any applications debuginfo (like C++ debuginfo etc.). Tools that use debuginfo like GDB need to tested and fixed accordingly.
