[digiKam-users] DK 6.4.0 : Massive Package Size :-(

[Gilles Caulier]

If we remove the debug symbols in bundles, we will not able to identify the
origin of a crash in the application. This si true for MacOS, Windows ans
Linux.

The official Linux distribution trough RPM/DEB provide applications by 2
versions : with and without debug symbols. In prior, the no debug version
is installed, and if necessary, the debug version is available to hack.

To reproduce this plan with bundle, this require to build 2 version of each
bundles, with will be time, power, and space consuming...

Best
