[Angstrom-devel] [RFC] Time to get rid of debug stuff?

[Marcin Juszkiewicz]

We have a problem with fitting images in flash for some devices. This is 
known fact.

We install few debug tools by default. This is not so known fact. We 
install them even if it does not have sense (tslib tools on machines 
without touchscreen).

I propose to stop adding DEBUG_APPS but not switch to 'release' type of 
distro. Attached patch do that - procps is left in images as users are 
rather used to it.
