I don't think that's a good idea - it makes things much slower for the 95% of people who never install debuginfo packages. Instead, probably bug-buddy should suggest updating the debuginfo packages.. or it should do like Apport does and upload the raw dump and let something on the server side handle the debuginfo-gathering / tracing bits. Unfortunately that doesn't help you much in the meantime, but we can definitely encourage anyone who's actively debugging stuff to enable debuginfo while they do so. repoman (or equivalent) should help with that. > Aside that skipping instead of moving to thursday would suit me fine I > have to go shopping for my sisters wedding present and fetch my suit > from the cleaners anyways so I'd likely miss the meeting anyways. Okay then - next meeting will be Wed Jul 11, 1500UTC. I'll send out a reminder Sunday or Monday. -w
