Description Robert Yang 2019-05-10 08:40:27 UTC
Something like:

INHIBIT_PACKAGE_STRIP_FILES = "/usr/*/ptest/*"

would make it easy to avoid stripping a lot of files such as ptest's files.
Comment 1 Randy MacLeod 2019-05-10 13:28:35 UTC
For valgrind for example, some if not all of the ptest executables should not be stripped so that ptests of full stack traces pass but we *do* want to strip the main valgrind executable so that it's size is smaller.
Comment 2 Richard Purdie 2019-05-16 14:39:17 UTC
We've fixed valgrind differently which lowers the priority of this issue.
