Package: src:gdb Version: 7.7.1+dfsg-5 Severity: wishlist Since upstream version 7.8, GDB can be compiled with support for Guile as an extension language. It would be nice to have a guile-enabled gdb available in Debian. thanks
Hello, Sorry, but there are already too many GDB packages, Debian toolchain maintainers discussed this a while ago and mostly decided to not enable such package for now and unlikely to happen in future. However, I'd be fine if we provide a way for users to build it themselves. Regards,
