apport (0.24) edgy; urgency=low
.
The "Need for speed" release -- rrrroarrr!
.
* apport: Remove _copy_shrink_corefile(): While this has an enormous impact
on the size of an uncompressed core dump, it only causes a negligible size
reduction of the bzip2'ed core, but it needs a lot of I/O resources for
large core dumps.
* problem_report.py:
- Use zlib instead of bzip2 for compressing the binary data (in
particular, core dumps). This results in slightly bigger files, but speeds
up compression a lot (30 seconds vs. ~2:45 minutes for a Firefox core dump
on my slow iBook). Closes: LP#61538
- ProblemReport.read(): Support both bzip2 and zlib compression to be able
to read existing reports, too.
- Add/Adapt test cases.
* Move InformationCollector._get_gdb() from apport to apport_utils.py
report_add_gdb_info(), and add a test case for it.
* apport_utils.py, report_add_package_info(): Support calling without a
package name, then it will be figured out from ExecutableName. Extend test
case accordingly.
* test-apport: Do not require apport reports to contain gdb, packaging, and
OS information, since we are going to move them out of apport.
* apport: Do not collect static information. It requires a lot of CPU and
I/O resources and slows down the machine a lot, and it can be added to
the report later in the frontend. This also gets rid of the entire
InformationCollector class, since everything has been moved to
apport_utils.py now. Closes: LP#62542
* apport: Do not intercept KeyboardInterrupt as unhandled exception (only
useful for command line debugging, though).
* problem_report.py: Add test case for appending new data to an existing
report, fix write() function to not rely on an existing ProblemType key.
* problem_report.py: Add new method ProblemReport.add_to_existing() to
update an already existing problem report with new data. Add test case.
* apport_utils.py, mark_report_seen(): Use os.utime() instead of
open()/read() and a timeout for simpler and faster operation.
* gtk/apport-gtk:
- Collect gdb/packaging/operating system information when the user chooses
to file a bug and update the apport report.
- Change the 'Downloading bug patterns...' progress dialog to 'Collecting
information about the crash...'.
* debian/control: Bumped library dependencies of apport-gtk, added
update-notifer dependency.
