[Rdiff-backup-bugs] [bug #24172] Building rdiff-backup from source include debug symbols

[Andrew Ferguson]

Update of bug #24172 (project rdiff-backup):

                  Status:                    None => Invalid                
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #1:

Those options are set by Python's distutils to make sure that the modules are
compiled correctly for the local machine. Rdiff-backup's setup files don't
specify any debug options.

I believe the -g option is necessary to make the stacktraces work through the
C module. By allowing those stacktraces to exist for all users, many users
have posted their problems to the mailing list and numerous bugs have been
closed.

If you're concerned about rdiff-backup's performance, dropping the debugging
symbols unfortunately won't provide any noticeable (or perhaps even
measurable) change. :-)
