apport 0.100 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

apport (0.100) hardy; urgency=low

  * bin/crash-digger: Add option --log for logging to a file, and
    --pidfile/--stop for daemonization. Add test cases to test-crash-digger.
  * bin/apport: Do not re-raise exceptions about failure to create the lock
    file, to avoid crashing in the case that another apport instance tries to
    lock at exactly the same moment. (LP: #147237)
  * apport/report.py testsuite: Check that our methods get along with binary
    data which turn into CompressedValue objects after loading them from a
    file. This reproduces LP #148305.
  * problem_report.py, CompressedValue: Add method splitlines() since we need
    it very often. Add test case to test_compressed_values(). (LP: #148305)
  * problem_report.py: Add test case to check that update() works and does the
    right thing with binary values and overwriting. This confirms that
    importing a dictionary works.
  * debian/local/setup-apport-retracer: Update for hardy.
  * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: get_source_info() does not work any more
    due to HTML changes in Launchpad, and not showing the component any more
    on /distro/+source/package. Since we do not actually need component and
    release name any more, rename it to get_source_version(), fix the regular
    expression to just get the version, and adapt get_fixed_version()
    accordingly.
  * debian/local/setup-apport-retracer: Update default apt sources to
    http://ddebs.ubuntu.com.
  * apport/ui.py: Robostify cleanup of forked test processes.
  * apport/ui.py: Sleep for 0.5 seconds after creating the test process in the
    test suite to give /proc some time to settle down.
  * bin/apport: Drop evaluation of CORE_* environment variables and mandate
    calling with <pid> <signal> <core ulimit>. Drop the now obsolete
    apport/elfcore.py. Adapt test-apport accordingly.
  * debian/apport.init, use-local: Now call apport with %p, %s, and %c kernel
    macros (since 2.6.24). Drop Edgy support from init script.
