These changes do not affect functionality, nor they fix any bugs. They are related to packaging of Golf, making it more compliant and smaller. They also allow debugging of production issues with the inclusion of debugging symbols, without compromising the performance.
- Changes to debian packaging and build process to get a clean lintian check.
- Removed HTML documentation from the installation packages, since man pages included cover it entirely, and the web pages are available on the web for viewing or download (see also single page documentation).
- Debugging (.dbg) files are now included in all builds (in debian as a separate package, in others as debugging symbols files included in the package).
- For manual install, stripping of all executables and libraries is done, along with creation of .dbg (debug symbol) files, to be used in debugging with gdb (as core or addr2line). Note this is also done for any other packaging (rpm, zypper, pacman).
