            Bug ID: 27532
           Summary: debuginfod should ask the user for permission before
                    downloading files
           Product: elfutils
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: debuginfod
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: sergiodj at sergiodj dot net
                CC: elfutils-devel at sourceware dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

One of the suggestions/complaints I got when we discussed Debian's debuginfod
service on debian-devel was that the debuginfod client should inform the user
before downloading the first file and ask for her consent before proceeding.

I'm not a debuginfod hacker, but I think this would probably require some sort
of permanent file (under ~/.config/, maybe?) where the decision can be stored,
and some way to allow the user to easily change this decision later.
