Control: severity -1 serious Justification: wasting many megabytes of space and download
We're shipping broken toolchain packages that are intentionally too large, and this is causing issues elsewhere. The "netinst" CD image that we advertise to people as the default Debian image to use for most installations is now huge. The multi-arch netinst no longer even fits on a single CD due to this waste of space. There's not been any visible progress on this bug in since last year. If upstream want to ship uncompressed binaries for diagnostics and can't cope with separate debug symbols, maybe ship separate alternative unstripped toolchain packages and point to those if people want them? -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com "When C++ is your hammer, everything looks like a thumb." -- Steven M.
