2006-09-29 20:39:30 Ben Collins linux-source-2.6.17: statusexplanation Martin, the crash helper is going to need to remove the cores now. It should do it when REMOVE_CORE=1 env exists. Had to do this. The fix that caused this bug was to get around the crash that was occurring in another bug. I want to avoid this whole problem, and this seems like the easiest way. So... * crash-helper: Because of the weirdness of deleting a file in the kernel, I think it's best to just ask the helper to do it when it needs to. Now passes REMOVE_CORE=1 when it should do that. - Malone #62972

2006-10-02 12:26:39 Martin Pitt apport: status Fix Committed Fix Released
2006-10-02 12:26:39 Martin Pitt apport: statusexplanation apport (0.25) edgy; urgency=low * Drop apport-gtk's update-notifier dependency to a Recommends:. * apport_utils.py, report_add_gdb_info(): Add register dump and disassembly of the last 32 bytes, they might be useful to see what's going on sometimes. Thanks to Kees Cook for the idea and the patch. * test-apport, check_crash(): Verify that a crash does not leave a core file behind. (Test for LP#62972) * preloadlib/libapport.c: Do not unlink the core file after calling apport, but set REMOVE_CORE=1 environment instead. This matches the current kernel behaviour. * apport: Register an atexit handler as early as possible for unlinking the core dump if REMOVE_CORE environment is set. Closes: LP#62972 * apport: Set nice level 10 instead of 5. Closes: LP#63099 -- Martin Pitt <martin.pitt@ubuntu.com> Mon, 2 Oct 2006 14:21:53 +0200
