Yes, but as we're not an ELF platform, I doubt we support the method used to implement MiniDebugInfo, so the implementation would be closer to MingwMiniDebugInfo. >> The patch for cygport would be minimal.=C2=A0 Is it worth the size incre= ase? >=20 > The benefit to Fedora is obvious, in that it would increase the quality > of the automated bug reports.

Therefore, I'm trying to queue up now any changes of such scope. --=20 Yaakov --3n3aHNnXEOBofUsdkQKmiciuh5iqk0ht8-- --L1Au6wpneMctnG8TUu55SMDrCXtGdtCaS Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" Content-length: 228 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHQEARECADQWIQRFYAu5jKh4qpenARn/IK+aZu4flAUCWhHxVxYceXNlbGtvd2l0 ekBjeWd3aW4uY29tAAoJEP8gr5pm7h+UAW8Anjzs/mtNtTQjZMOP5nMvEa5gPrO9 AJ9TfzzZl+ErQaa/Zt435BO3R8tvWQ== =XHqv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --L1Au6wpneMctnG8TUu55SMDrCXtGdtCaS--
