- Subject: Names for debug packages
There's been discussion on the cygwin list about packages containing
debug symbols, most recently in
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-02/threads.html#00536
where the consensus (I think) was that package maintainers could provide
such packages if they wanted to. I would like to provide a package
containing debug symbols for emacs-*.exe, but I'm not sure what to call
it. The thread I just cited discussed *-debuginfo. But since then
Reini has released perl_debuginfo, and Corinna has released
cygwin-debug. Could/should we standardize these names? I don't know
whether to call my new package emacs-debuginfo, emacs_debuginfo, or
emacs-debug. My personal preference is the last one, simply because
it's short.
