It is how it all works today though. Is there a pressing reason > we need to do something different here? Without this change, none of the [renamed] libraries generated by the ffmpeg recipe have debug symbols available. As is, the recipe is generating separate -dev packages for each library - how is that different [policy-wise]? Should the -dev and -dbg info for the libraries be bundled into ffmpeg-dbg and ffmpeg-dev? Or perhaps the machinations generating the -dev packages in that recipe are just wrong? -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------
