Host a Source/Symbol server to provide an easier way to get the source/symbols when trying to debug a Firebird issue [CORE4635]

If you use Windows and you get a Firebird crash and want to debug it with Windbg or have perf issue which you want to trace with xperf, finding and loading the correct symbols is a bit complicated.

It would be nice if all symbols can be uploaded to a Symbol server (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms680693%28v=vs.85%29.aspx) and the source for the releases to the source server (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms680641%28v=vs.85%29.aspx) so that they can be easily loaded on demand.

any status update on this idea? Was it discussed by the developers or not?

Is it too complex to download debug symbols from the same sourse as installation package (and, probably, at the same time) ?
Why do you think developers should discuss it ? Is it developers question ?

it is complicated to see architecture and used version, last time I got an ETL from a firebird issue it took me 30 minutes to find the correct PDBs. On my system I always install the Version which includes the PDBs, but this is NOT the issue.

TortoiseSVN hosts a server and it works fines to fetch PDBs and source:
