Subject: [Caml-list] Package compilation and debug mode
Date: Sat, 12 Mar 2016 22:35:38 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <30AF5A7CB977477A9BF094F3BC19C58C@erratique.ch> (raw)
Hello,
I'd like to know what the consensus is about distributing packages that always compile in debug mode. It seems that some persons do want to have debug always enabled [1,2], but the discussion is not clear cut [1].
By default all my packages are released with -g disabled. It seems easy enough to have an opam switch (even the official one) that automatically enables the flag.
So I think OCaml's opam repository should have a policy here. The answer should also take system package managers into account since those pull directly from the tarballs (if this document [3] is still in use for debian it seems they do require compilation with debug mode).
Personally I don't have an opinion about it, I'm rather seeking an answer here.
Best,
Daniel
