[ptxdist] ptxdist and root-debug

[Ingo Maindorfer]

Hi there,

is there an easy way for getting "ptxdist images" to use root-debug 
instead of root folder?

Best Regards,

Ingo

It does not use the 'root' folder and root-debug no longer exists.
Currently ptxdist will copy the stripped file to 'root' and a file with the
only the debug sections in a .debug/ folder next to it. In addition ptxdist
creates a ipkg Archive for each package that contains only the stripped
files. 'ptxdist images' uses those ipkg Archives to create the final image.

It's currently not possible to add the debug files to the image. Why do you
need the debug symbols on the target device? Remote debugging is much more
convenient and the you can use root (or root-debug for old ptxdist
versions) as sysroot.
