I have seen a lot of discussions about kernel with debugging options
enabled in this cycle. The questions repeat itself and I have them
sometimes as well (I tend to forget these information). I think we should
create a wiki page describing:
1. That our current policy is to use debug kernels in all composes prior
to Branched Beta (is that true? maybe just Beta RC1?).
2. The problems that debug kernels may cause (mainly performance
problems).
3. The exceptions in this process (regularly there is a non-debug kernel
built).
4. How to know whether you are currently running a debug kernel (I never
remember this one).
5. How to find latest debug/non-debug kernel in Koji.
6. How to install this kernel from Koji.
Then we can link this page e.g. in our Alpha announcements, so that we
save a lot of question for many people (and maybe a lot of troubles as
well, if they have some troubles and they just don't know about debug
kernels at all).
Good idea? Volunteer?
