[Bug 1318809] Re: crash tool support for the ppc64el arch

[Mauricio Faria de Oliveira]

Hi Kalpana,

Can you please test the version in -proposed?

I dont have virsh handy in my environment, and kdump-tools is not quite
working here (I'll follow up internally).

(add the trusty-proposed repo as in comment #14, then reinstall the
package, if the dev version is still there)

$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall crash
[...]
Get:1 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ trusty-proposed/main crash ppc64el 7.0.3-3ubuntu3 [2,601 kB]
[...]
Setting up crash (7.0.3-3ubuntu3) ...
$

Thank you.

Bug description:

  Hi,

  Is it possible to (discuss how to) enable the crash package to on the
  ppc64el arch?

  Recently the kernel received the config changes
  (CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y, CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, currently in the -proposed pocket [1])

  Is it hard to move to GDB 7.7? (ppc64el GDB package starts on that
  version).

  Thanks!
