Someone else asked this earlier - but why do users need the debug-info
packages - only the debugger looking at the tracebacks needs this. So
seems installing the debug files on every desktop/server that has a
problem is much less efficient than just on the dev computer who needs
the info - no?
This is a good point, the users shouldn't really have to install
debuginfo for a one-off use. It would be better for a central server
or service to have access to all the debuginfo files at all versions.
The back end processing of symbol-less backtraces + version info to
fully annotated ones could be automated.
There has been such idea called debugfs, but it was cancelled (don't
remember the reason), but I agree that would be probably the best
option, because when user creates the backtrace he needs to install the
whole debuginfo, but then GDB reads just a few kilobytes.
