Description:
apport - automatically generate crash reports for debugging
apport-gtk - GTK frontend for the apport crash report system
python-apport - apport crash report handling library
python-problem-report - python library to handle problem reports
Changes:
apport (0.41) feisty; urgency=low
.
New feature: Use Malone cloakroom for uploading reports. Closes: LP#70919
.
* gtk/apport-gtk.glade: Redesign bug reporting dialog to have a 'Create bug
report' and a 'Cancel' button. Also assign GTK_RESPONSE_* constants to the
dialog buttons. Go back to Glade 2 since Glade 3 still sucks too much.
* gtk/apport-gtk: Adjust workflow for sending report to Malone cloakroom
instead of asking the user to attach the file. Sending is not yet
implemented, though.
* gtk/apport-gtk: Do not show any dialogs any more when filing a bug.
* Add apport/MultipartPostHandler.py: This module provides an urllib2 opener
for uploading file attachments to forms over HTTP POST. This module is
(C) 2006 Will Holcomb <wholcomb at gmail.com> and was taken from
http://odin.himinbi.org/MultipartPostHandler.py. (This is a serious hole
of the Python standard library IMHO.)
* apport/ui.py, file_report(): Upload blob to Malone (edge.launchpad.net for
now), retrieve the ticket, and pass it to +filebug.
.
Refactorizations:
.
* gtk/apport-gtk: Major refactorization to use modal dialogs and run()
instead of loosely coupled event handlers.
* Add apport/ui.py: Abstract frontend which encapsulates the logic, workflow
and UI independent bits and provides UI hooks for concrete
implementations. This both makes it easy to write more frontends like Qt
or CLI, and also makes the code automatically testable. Add an extensive
testsuite.
* run-tests: Add ui.py testsuite.
* gtk/apport-gtk: Port to ui.py's UserInterface (which means moving 1/3 of
the code into the new ui_*() methods and throwing away the rest).
* Add apport/REThread.py: Enhanced threading.Thread class that can propagate
the return value and uncaught exceptions of run() to the calling thread.
* apport/ui.py: Get rid of thread_check_bugpatterns() and hackish exception
handling, rewrite using REThread.
* apport/ui.py, gtk/apport-gtk: Add progress bar to report upload. It is
indefinite for now, because neither urllib2 nor httplib support upload
progress.
.
Bug fixes:
.
* gtk/apport-gtk.glade: Merged Gnome HIG fixes from Sebastian Heinlein,
thank you!
* Merge patch from Sebastian Heinlein to properly treat the apport-gtk icon
the dh_iconcache way and make it themeable. Thank you!
* gtk/apport-gtk: Remove periods from primary dialog texts to comply with
Gnome HIG standards.
* backends/packaging-dpkg.py, get_file_package(): Process list files in
chunks of 100, so that we do not exceed the maximum command line length if
there is a large number of packages installed. Closes: LP#64839
* gtk/apport-gtk: Use pgrep with -u instead of pidof for testing whether the
crashed process is already running again, so that we do not match
processes of other users. Add procps package dependency for this.
* gtk/apport-gtk: Only offer to restart programs that are in the $PATH. E.
g. /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin cannot be called directly.
Closes: LP#79623
* apport/report.py: Disassemble 16 instructions instead of 32 bytes to
become independent of the instruction size. Thanks to Kees Cook for the
patch!
