Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

Unity's build system doesn't appear to build with debugging symbols (or, strangely, any optimisations) by default, which is why a unity-dbgsym package isn't generated.

The attached debdiff sets the RelWithDbgSym target, which builds with -O2 & -g, and hence we get a unity-dbgsym package. Yay!

As discussed on IRC, I'll patch the compiz cmake file rather to have all plugins built with RelWithDbgSym if they have the "package" flag + ask for a rebuild of deps.

Thanks Chris! :)

This bug was fixed in the package compiz - 1:0.9.2.1+glibmainloop2-0ubuntu2

---------------
compiz (1:0.9.2.1+glibmainloop2-0ubuntu2) natty; urgency=low

  * debian/rules:
    - build with RelWithDebInfo cmake flag to get debug info and release
      optimisation
  * debian/patches/004_packagemode_is_release_debug_for_plugins.patch:
    - when compiz plugin built in "Package" mode, add optimization + debug
      symbols for stripping in dbgsym. Thanks RAOF for pointing at it
      (LP: #682574)
  * debian/patches/005_no_glib_plugin.patch:
    - remove glib plugin as conflicting with the glibmainloop branch
  * debian/source_compiz.py:
    - grab new gconf path in apport bug report
