I havent looked at your new implementation (does it exist).. but yea what you wrote seems to make sense... except that I keep the source code too.. so it would bloat binary packages.. I think it should be done before the packages are made.. or maybe use separate debug and have separate debug packages like RedHat does. -- Olivier Crête [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gentoo Developer x86 Security Liaison -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
