Summary

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

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.
