Title:
documentation describes non-included ProcCmdline field
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
The documentation, in the "Process specific data fields" section,
describes a required ProcCmdline field:
doc/data-format.tex; line 209:
\item [ProcCmdline:] (required) Contents of \verb!/proc/pid/cmdline!
but according to the changelog, this field is not included in bug
reports since 2008-02-06:
2008-02-06 Martin Pitt <martin.pitt at ubuntu.com>
...
* apport/ui.py,
* debian/changelog: [1048] * apport/ui.py: Do not include ProcCmdline
in bug reports, since these are not ack'ed by the user and might
contain sensitive data. (LP: #132800)
The field is still used internally for restarting the process, but
isn't included in the bug reports, and mention of the required
ProcCmdline field should be removed.
