Summary	0002065: Add 'zandronum(-server)-dbg' package for debugging purpose

Revision	2015-01-15 17:05 by Edward-san
Description	Now it's time to think about a way to make linux crash reports more reliable. The actual system makes this impossible, since zandronum is compiled in 'Release' mode. My idea for the zandronum-(server-)dbg package consists in: compile the code in RelWithDebInfo mode; separate the debug information in, for example, zandronum(-server).debug; strip the debug info in the original executable, ie zandronum(-server); link zandronum(-server).debug to zandronum(-server) as the debug info table. Then add such .debug files into the new packages. The instructions reported here show the whole idea better.
