Description Ross Burton 2016-04-28 13:09:50 UTC 
The current documentation for INHIBIT_PACKAGE_STRIP just says that it stops stripping, but it should also say that it stops the -dbg package from containing the source files too.

It should also point out that the default is to strip the binaries and put the debugging symbols into ${PN}-dbg, so shouldn't be used in the general case for debugging.

Hi, 

See http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.2/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-INHIBIT_PACKAGE_STRIP for a new version of this variable description.  Let me know if it is okay.

Thanks, 
Scott

Setting new target to M4 - still needs a look for review.
Comment 3 Scott Rifenbark 2016-10-25 20:16:15 UTC 
Moving to 2.3 M2
Comment 4 Scott Rifenbark 2016-11-08 18:06:44 UTC 
No feedback for 5 months.  Setting to RESOLVED and putting the doc flag to "done."
