Qt with debug symbols for ArchLinux.

Since KDEmod moved from using their own qtmod to the qt package in [extra], there's no longer a package containing qt debugging symbols in Arch. I know that things are in the pipeline with Arch generally to get this moving, but in the meantime, if anyone needs this kind of thing, I made a few packages which you can use.

Take a look here for more information.

Is there somewhere that I may find PKGBUILDs foryour debug packages?

I'm currently using your qt-debugable-debug package to construct a lib32-qt-debugable package. However the older version 4.4.3 seems to not cause the segfault in the program I'm debugging! So I guess I need to re-upgrade to 4.5.0(the qt that I was getting segfaults under) with debugging enabled.

Hi there,

To be honest, it wasn't much work - From memory, I just needed to add 'splitdbg' to the options array in the old qtmod package in kdemod. I haven't tried updating the PKGBUILD to 4.5 yet, but think I should do pretty soon. Also, qtmod is back in the kdemod repositories as of 4.5, so try building that with 'splitdbg' and see what happens :-)
