            Bug ID: 402505
           Summary: No debug symbols available for binary packages
           Product: Craft
           Version: stable
          Platform: Other
                OS: MS Windows
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Core
          Assignee: vonreth at kde.org
          Reporter: ralf.habacker at freenet.de

  Target Milestone: ---

Binaries created at KDE binary factory does not provide any debug symbols in
the opposite to the binaries generated from obs.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. download the portable binary package from
https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/Umbrello_Nightly_win64/
2. unpack it
3. inspect to see if there are any .pdb (msvc) or gcc related debug (.sym,
.dbg) files

OBSERVED RESULT
There are no symbols files available, neither included or downloadable from the
above mentioned website.

EXPECTED RESULT
It should be a way to get debug symbols for the related binary package to be
able to get valid backtraces in crashing case. Otherwise it would not be
possible to give developers detailed crash informations.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONS
Normally KDE applications uses drkonqi to report crash reports. Unfortunally
drkonqi on Windows is not ready yet to take this task (see bug 396893, 396915
and 396909). In the meantime the debug symbols are usable by 3rdparty tools
like windbg or cdb (for msvc builds) and gdb (for gcc builds) to get valid back
traces.

Forcing end users to compile a local copy of the related application for
getting back traces looks not to be an efficient way.
