apport (1.21.2-0ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low

  * New upstream bug fix release. Changes since our trunk snapshot:
    - generic hook: Don't report package installation failures due to
      segfaulting maintainer scripts. We want the actual crash report only.
      Thanks Brian Murray.
    - hookutils.py, attach_wifi(): Also include wpasupplicant logs. Thanks
      Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre!
    - report.py: Fix bug patterns to correctly match against compressed report
      fields.
  * gtk/apport-gtk.desktop.in: Also show in Unity. Cherrypicked from trunk.
    (LP: #803519)

      multiarch fixes.

apport (1.21.1-0ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low

  * New upstream release:
    - data/general-hooks/generic.py: Also check for low space on /var. Thanks
      Brian Murray.
    - hookutils.py, attach_file() and attach_file_if_exists(): Add a new
      "overwrite" flag option. If not given, now default to overwriting an
      existing key, as this is usually what you need when attaching files
      (instead of attaching it several times with '_' appended to the keys).
      You can get the old behaviour by setting overwrite=False.
    - When showing the size of the full report, take the compressed size of
      binary values instead of their uncompressed size, as the crash db upload
      will use the compressed values.
    - backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Fix for current dpkg with multiarch
      support.
    - test/run: Fix the test suite to run against the system installed
      libraries with current Python versions (2.6, 2.7) where __file__ does
      not work any more with imports.

apport (1.21-0ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low

  * New upstream release. Changes since our previous trunk merge:
    - Supply --desktop option to kdesudo to improve the description which
      program is requesting administrative privileges.
    - apport-checkreports: Exit with status 2 if there are new reports, but
      apport is disabled. This helps crash notification GUIs to not display new
      crash reports in that case. Thanks to Michael Vogt for the original patch.
    - Add data/is-enabled: Shell script to check if apport is enabled.
      Non-Python programs (which can't use apport.packaging.enabled() ) can
      call this instead of having to parse /etc/default/apport themselves, and
      just check the exit code. Inspired by original patch from Michael Vogt.

  * The kernel team has decided that asking the user for a bunch of
    information which they may not be able to answer is the wrong thing to do.
    Therefore, all the propmpting of the user for said information has been
    removed. Also removed is the tagging of "needs-upstream-testing".

    as root. (LP: #745455)

apport (1.20-0ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low

  * New upstream release. Changes since our previous snapshot:
    - Add support for -w/--window option which will enable user to select a
      window as a target for filing a problem report. Thanks Abhinav Upadhyay.
      (LP: #357847)
    - Disable the filtering on SIGABRT without assertion messages. Turns out
      that developers want these crash reports after all. (LP: #729223)
    - Add support for a "DuplicateSignature" report fields. This allows
      package hooks to implement custom duplicate problem handling which
      doesn't need to be hardcoded in Apport itself. Update the launchpad
      backend to tag such bugs as "need-duplicate-check".
    - hookutils.py Update WifiSyslog regex to correctly catch application log
      messages in syslog. Thanks Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre. (LP: #732917)
    - hookutils.py, attach_hardware(): Avoid error message if machine does not
      have a PCI bus. Thanks Marcin Juszkiewicz. (LP: #608449)
    - backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Replace deprecated getChanges() call
      with get_changes().
    - apport-gtk: Fix broken dialog heading if the name of the crashed program
      contains an & or other markup specific characters.
    - apport-gtk: Don't crash if GTK cannot be initialized. This usually
      happens without a $DISPLAY or when the session is being shut down. Just
      print an error message. If there are pending crashes, they will be shown
      again the next time a session starts. (LP: #730569)
  * debian/local/apport-chroot: In retracing mode, fix the passed --auth and
    --duplicate-db arguments to be paths within the fakechroot.
  * debian/local/apport-chroot: Apply the same absolute path fix to retracing
    mode that we already applied to login mode in 1.19-0ubuntu1.

    - apport-retrace: Intercept SystemErrors from ill-formed gzip attachments
      as well.
    - Fix crash if crash database configuration does not specify a
      bug_pattern_url. Just assume None. (LP: #731526)
    - If a custom crash database does not specify a bug_pattern_url, fall back
      to using the default database's. (LP: #731526)

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * New upstream release:
    - apt backend: Do not generate a warning if the opportunistically added -dbg
      package does not exist.
    - apt backend: Only add -dbg in --no-pkg mode, as there will be conflicts in
      normal package mode.
    - apt backend: Call tar with target cwd instead of using -C; the latter causes
      an extra openat() call which breaks with current fakechroot.
    - launchpad.py: Fix retracer crash if DistroRelease field does not exist.
    - Convert deprecated failIf()/assert_() TestCase method calls to
      assertFalse()/assertTrue().
    - In apport-bug, if the user specifies a PID referring to a kernel thread,
      do the right thing and file the bug against the kernel
    - In hookutils.attach_dmesg, skip over an initial truncated message if one
      is present (this happens when the ring buffer overflows)
    - Change bug patterns to just use one central file instead of per-package
      files. This allows bug patterns to be written which are not package
      specific, and is easier to maintain as well. IMPORTANT: This changed the
      format of crashdb.conf: bug_pattern_base is now obsolete, and the new
      attribute bug_pattern_url now points to the full URL/path of the patterns
      file. Thanks to Matt Zimmerman!
  * debian/local/setup-apport-retracer: Drop local installation of packages,
    we now just check that they are installed in the system.
  * debian/local/apport-chroot: Convert --auth argument to absolute path, as
    fakechroot needs that.

  [ Steve Langasek ]
  * data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: don't collect bug reports on missing
    menu.lst - this is a user error that they need to fix up on their side.

  [ Matt Zimmerman ]
  * data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: Add UpgradeStatus field to show if the

      if not.
    - Do not show symptom scripts which start with an underscore. These can be
      used for private libraries for the actual symptom scripts.
    - Update bash completion. Thanks Philip Muškovac.
    - etc/default/apport: Remove obsolete "maxsize" setting. (LP: #719564)
    - Remove explicit handling of KDE *.ui files in setup.py, as
      python-distutils-extra 2.24 fixes this. Bump version check.
    - hookutils.py: Add attach_root_command_outputs() to run several commands
      at once. This avoids asking for the password several times.
      (LP: #716595)
  * debian/apport.postinst: Add missing debhelper token.
  * debian/rules: Drop dump_acpi_tables.py chmod workaround, it's upstream now
    and has the proper permissions.
  * Add etc/apport/blacklist.d/apport and drop the creation of it in
    /debian/rules. This is easier to maintain and more obvious. Also move
    README.blacklist from python-apport to apport, it fits better there.
  * etc/apport/blacklist.d/apport: Add the binaries of nspluginwrapper, as we
    can't do anything about them anyway. (LP: #717468)

    - ui.py: Do not show all the options in --help when invoked as *-bug.
      (LP: #665953)
    - launchpad.py: Adapt test cases to current standard_title() behaviour.
  * debian/control: Bump python-apt dependency to >= 0.7.9 to ensure that we
    have the current API. Trunk dropped support for the old API.
  * data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: Ignore obsolete packages when filing bugs
    against update-manager. (LP: #397519)
  * data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: Do not file a package install failure if
    DpkgTerminalLog doesn't have any data. (LP: #695887)
  * Add debian/apport.postinst: Create /var/crash. This directory is required

  * New upstream release. Changes since to our previous trunk snapshot:
    - Order symptom descriptions alphabetically. Thanks to Javier Collado.
    - Check $APPORT_SYMPTOMS_DIR environment variable for overriding the
      system default path. Thanks to Javier Collado.
    - testsuite: Check that crashdb.conf can have dynamic code to determine DB
      names and options.
    - ui.py test suite: Rewrite _gen_test_crash() to have the test process
      core dump itself, instead of using gdb to do it. The latter fails in
      ptrace restricted environments, such as Ubuntu 10.10.
    - launchpad.py: Use launchpadlib to file a bug instead of screen scraping.
      The latter was completely broken with current Launchpad, so this makes
      the test suite actually work again. Thanks to Diogo Matsubara!
    - launchpad.py: Change $APPORT_STAGING to $APPORT_LAUNCHPAD_INSTANCE, so
      that you can now specify "staging", "edge", or "dev" (for a local
      http://launchpad.dev installation). Thanks to Diogo Matsubara!
    - backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Fix crash on empty lines in ProcMaps
      attachment.

  * New upstream release:
    - Add "--save" UI option to store the collected information into an
      .apport file instead of sending it right away. The file can then later
      be sent through apport-bug. Update manpages accordingly.
    - Update all copyright and description headers and consistently format
      them.
    - Rename all TestCase classes to "_T", which makes it much easier to run
      individual tests from the command line.
    - Testsuite: Verify that report details are/are not shown. This uncovered
      that details about package installation failures were not shown before
      sending them, which is fixed now.
    - test/hooks: Do not try to add hook information to kernel_crashdump test
      case, since we do not have an UI here. This test case broke when the

apport (1.10.1-0ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low

  * New upstream release:
    - Install apport-collect symlink.
    - Update translations from Launchpad.
    - Move all remaining option/argument parsing from apport-bug into ui.py.
      This allows the user to add options to apport-bug/apport-collect, and
      also avoids unwieldy dissection of options/arguments in shell.
  * debian/apport.links: Do not create apport-collect symlink, now done by
    upstream build system. Install that in debian/apport.install.
  * debian/local/setup-apport-retracer: Set up lazr.restfulclient.
  * debian/control: Bump python-distutils-extra build dependency to >= 2.14 to
    ensure correct symlink handling.

apport (1.10-0ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low

  * New upstream release:
    - Add a mode for updating an existing problem report to ui.py
      (-u/--update).  This is similar to the Ubuntu specific "apport-collect"
      tool, but implemented the right way now: In particular, this has access
      to the UI and thus can use interactive hooks (LP: #385811) and show you
      what is being sent for confirmation/cancelling (LP: #371827)

    - apport-bug: If invoked as "apport-collect" or "apport-update-bug" (i. e.
      through a symlink), run apport in update mode (-u <number>). This
      provides a convenient no-options command line program. Please note that
      setup.py does not currently install such a symlink. Update the
      apport-bug manpage accordingly.

    - launchpad.py: Use new login_with() to clean up code, and specify allowed
      access levels (WRITE_PRIVATE is the only sensible one anyway).
      (LP: #410205)

    - New hookutils functions:
      + xsession_errors (match lines from ~/.xsession-errors)
      + shared_libraries (determine which libraries a binary links with)
      + links_with_shared_library (test if a binary links with a particular
        library)

    - New CrashDatabase API: get_affected_packages(), can_update(), is_reporter()

    - Rename CrashDatabase.update() to update_traces().

    - Add CrashDatabase.update() for adding all new fields of a report. This is
      primarily useful for collecting local standard and package hook data for an
      already existing bug report which was not filed through Apport. This checks
      can_update()/is_reporter() if the user is eligible for updating that
      particular bug. (LP: #485880)

    - Ignore SIGXCPU and SIGXFSZ; thanks to Kees Cook. (LP: #498074)

    - launchpad.py: Do not mark non-Ubuntu bugs as needs-retrace, since there is
      no retracer right now. (LP: #489794)

    - packaging-apt-dpkg.py, install_retracing_packages(): Do not crash on
      malformed Dependencies.txt lines. (LP: #441709)

    - use-local: Fix for new source tree location of "apport" binary.

  * Drop debian/local/apport-collect{,.1} and install symlinks for apport-bug
    instead.
  * data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: Do not report "corrupted filesystem tarfile"
    package errors. (LP: #320743)
  * data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: Report "package ... is already installed and
    configured" errors against dpkg, not the package that failed. (LP: #467688)

apport (1.9-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * New upstream release:
    - Add "do what I mean" mode to command line argument parsing (applies to
      all interfaces: -cli, -gtk, -kde). When giving a single argument and no
      options, determine the most likely mode, like reporting a bug against a
      symptom, package, executable name, or PID.
    - Add program "apport-bug" which determines the most appropriate user
      interface (GTK, KDE, CLI) and files a bug through it, using the single
      argument "do what I mean" mode. This is an improved version of Ubuntu's
      "ubuntu-bug" script.
    - Update apport-cli manpage to current set of options and behaviour. Also
      point out that apport-gtk and apport-kde share the same CLI.
    - setup.py now installs apport-{gtk,kde} into $prefix/share/apport/, they
      are not supposed to be called directly. This also reflects the path
      which the .desktop files expect.
    - setup.py now installs the internal helper scripts like
      "kernel_crashdump", "apport", or "apportcheckresume" into
       $prefix/share/apport instead of $prefix/bin.
    - Update usage of gettext to work around Python bug of gettext() not
      returning unicodes, but str. Fixes UnicodeDecodeErrors on translated
      --help output.
    - Add missing gettext wrapping for user-visible strings in
      apport-{retrace,unpack} and ui.py; thanks to Marco Rodrigues!
    - backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Robustify get_{source,architecture} for

  * New upstream release:
    - Do not generally ignore SIGABRT any more. Try to extract the assertion
      message from the core dump, and add it as "AssertionMessage" field. Mark
      reports as unreportable if they do not have an assertion message and crashed
      with SIGABRT. This implements UbuntuSpec:security-karmic-apport-abort.
    - report.py, add_hooks_info(): Add optional package/srcpackage argument. Hooks
      can use that to change the affected package or call hooks from different
      packages.
    - KDE frontend implementation of ui_question_userpass(), for crash databases
      which need to ask for credentials.
    - hookutils.py: New funtion attach_wifi() to add wireless network related
      information to reports.
    - Fix the test suite on current kernels; test/crash previously often failed
      with python segfaults, since it killed the test processes too early.

apport (1.7-0ubuntu4) karmic; urgency=low

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * data/package-hooks/source_debian-installer.py: Report Ubiquity bugs
    against the ubiquity source package, rather than rejecting them.

  [ James Westby ]
  * data/package-hooks/source_linux.py: submit oopses back if the user
    accepts. Use the new kerneloops-submit to do it.
  * bin/kernel_oops: kerneloops will now pass the checksum, so if it does
    then base the report path on that to uniquify the reports.
  * apport/fileutils.py: allow uid to be a string so that we can use
    the checksum in place of the uid.

    prtconf and pccardctl output if those commands are available.
  * data/package-hooks/source_debian-installer.py: New hook, providing
    roughly the same information as is provided by the 'report-hw' tool in
    installation-report.

apport (1.6-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * New upstream release:
    - Add support for kernel crashes, thanks to Michael Vogt!
    - apport/ui.py, run_crash(): Do not re-collect information if we already
      have a Dependencies field. This happens when calling apport on an already
      pre-processed .crash file with -c. (LP: #394497)
    - apport/hookutils.py, pci_devices(): Deliver all matching devices, not
      just the last one. (LP: #398906)

      so that they do not count as "free". (LP: #341720)
    - packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Support additional custom native origins in
      /etc/apport/native-origins.d/ . (LP: #386052)
    - packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Drop PPA origin hack, launchpad behaves properly
      now
    - apport-gtk: Avoid focus stealing when being called without arguments (i.
      e. auto-launched). LP: #396243)
    - apport-kde: Use standard gettext again
    - Fix handling of PC lacking disassembly due to invalid memory location.

      python-apt API.
    - Sort the list of dependencies so it's easier to scan (LP: #391021)

 -- Martin Pitt <martin.pitt@ubuntu.com>  Tue, 30 Jun 2009 22:39:18 +0200

apport (1.5-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * New upstream release:
    - Drop all Makefiles, po/POTFILES.in, and most code from setup.py, and use
      DistUtilsExtras.auto which "just does the right thing" for most build
      system tasks. This requires python-distutils-extra >= 2.2, see
      https://launchpad.net/python-distutils-extra
    - Move all test scripts into test/, to unclutter source tree.
    - setup.py now auto-detects the required packaging backend if
      apport/packaging_impl.py is not manually installed.
  * debian/control: Add python-distutils-extra build dependency.
  * debian/rules: Drop stuff which is now properly done by the upstream build
    system.
  * Drop debian/apport.examples, preloadlib died long ago.
  * Adapt debian/apport-{gtk,kde}.install to new upstream build system, which
    now installs the .desktop files itself.

    - apport-gtk.ui: Drop erroneous translatable flag from stock buttons.
    - Update German translations.

    done them for a long time.
  * debian/control: Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.2 (no changes necessary).
  * debian/control: Replace URLs in descriptions with proper Homepage: field.

apport (1.3-0ubuntu2) karmic; urgency=low

  * debian/local/apport-collect: Pass None as HookUI object. This will crash
    with interactive hooks, but is a good enough immediate bandaid.
    (LP: #385811)
  * Merge fixes from trunk:
    - packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Add backwards compatibility code for python-apt <
      0.7.9 to not break backportability.
    - hookutils.py, command_output(): Force LC_MESSAGES=C, to avoid translated
      output in bug reports. (LP: #383230)
    - apport-gtk.ui: Make details window resizable, and lower default size, so
      that it will fit on small screens. (LP: #365517)

 -- Martin Pitt <martin.pitt@ubuntu.com>  Fri, 12 Jun 2009 12:47:59 +0200

apport (1.3-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * New upstream release. Compared to our bzr snapshot, this has:
    - Interactive package hooks:
      + Add apport.ui.HookUI class which provides GUI functionality such as
        yes/no
        questions or file dialogs to hooks.
      + add_info() in package hooks now can (optionally) take a second argument
        which is the HookUI instance.
      + See doc/package-hooks.txt for details.
      + See UbuntuSpec:desktop-karmic-symptom-based-bug-reporting
    - New function apport.hookutils.root_command_output() to run a command as root,

apport (1.2.1-0ubuntu3) karmic; urgency=low

  * debian/control: Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.1 (no changes necessary).
  * debian/control: Bump debhelper dependency for dh_icons, to satisfy
    lintian.
  * general-hooks/ubuntu.py: Fix IndexError crash if report does not have a
    Package field. Check whether we actually have attach_conffiles() (which is
    not the case when running the upstream version).
  * Merge trunk:
    - launchpad.py: Fix crash for unset titles.
    - Add segfault analysis hook for quick segv reviews. Thanks to Kees Cook!
    - run-tests: Replace hardcoded Python path with dynamically detected path.

    branch to package branch).
  * Merge bug fixes from trunk:
    - apport-cli: Fix report saving in "bug report" mode. (LP: #353253)
    - Drop "UnsupportableReason" field, it is too similar to
      UnreportableReason and just confusing.
    - ui.py: Check UnreportableReason for run_report_bug() as well.
      (LP: #361359)
    - general-hooks/generic.py: Do not report problems with low free space on
      / or /home. (LP: #381047)
    - launchpad.py: Do not overwrite report['Title'].
    - launchpad.py: Repair support for extra tags.
    - New function apport.hookutils.root_command_output() to run a command as

      + packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Use python-apt >= 0.7.9 official API and drop
        usage of internal symbols.
      + hookutils.py: Drop hal related functions and queries, replace with
        udev database, udev log file, and DMI information from sysfs.
      + gtk UI: Convert from libglade to gtk.Builder.
    - Bug fixes:
      + hookutils.py: Drop /proc/version_signature collection, it is Ubuntu
        specific.
      + apportcheckresume: Fix log collection from pm-utils.
      + Fix various crashes and report properties for reporting against
        uninstalled packages.
  * debian/control: Drop python-glade2 dependency, bump python-gtk2 dependency
    to ensure availability of gtk.Builder.
  * hookutils, attach_conffiles(): Remove leftover debugging spew.
  * debian/apport-qt.install: Install the individual Qt .ui files instead of
    *.ui, since GTK's are now also called *.ui.

apport (1.1.1-0ubuntu2) karmic; urgency=low

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * hookutils.py: Do not attach /proc/version_signature, it's Ubuntu specific.
    (Merged from trunk). Instead, attach it in general-hooks/ubuntu.py.
  * general-hooks/ubuntu.py: Attach package conffile information.
  * debian/local/apport-collect: Add workaround for launchpadlib bug
    LP#353805, to avoid crashing with non-UTF8 attachments. (LP: #368004)
  * debian/local/apport-collect: Fix import of launchpadlib's HTTPError.
  * apport/hookutils.py, attach_conffiles(): Ignore empty lines from
    dpkg-query output.
  * general-hooks/ubuntu.py: Strip off '/target' prefix from ExecutablePath
    and InterpreterPath, to correctly process crash reports from the live
    system installer.
  * apport/hookutils.py, attach_conffiles(): Do not use command_output(),
    since that causes error messages to get parsed as conffiles. Use
    subprocess properly.
  * backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Replace deprecated python-apt properties
    with current ones (merged from trunk). Update python-apt dependency to 
    >= 0.7.9.
  * packaging-apt-dpkg.py, get_modified_files(): Do not show package list file
    as modified if the package is not installed (merged from trunk).
    (LP: #364533)
  * backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py, install_retracing_packages(): Fix syntax
    error which broke the retracers.

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * New upstream security update:
    - etc/cron.daily/apport: Only attempt to remove files and symlinks, do not
      descend into subdirectories of /var/crash/. Doing so might be exploited by
      a race condition between find traversing a huge directory tree, changing
      an existing subdir into a symlink to e. g. /etc/, and finally getting
      that piped to rm. This also changes the find command to not use GNU
      extensions.  Thanks to Stephane Chazelas for discovering this!
      (LP: #357024, CVE-2009-1295)

  * New upstream release:
    - Drop some remaining distro specific pieces of code from non-backends.
    - Add hookutils methods for attaching relevant packages, greatly improve
      attach_alsa() for sound problem debugging. 
    - Move launchpad crash database implementation from ever-breaking
      python-launchpad-bugs (screenscraping) to launchpadlib (official and
      stable Launchpad API). (LP: #353879)
    - Add new field Report.pid which gets set on add_proc_info() and can be
      used by hooks.
    - setup.py: Properly clean up all generated files, install missing
      mimetypes/text-x-apport.svg icon symlink.
    - Add README file.
    - Add translations from Launchpad.
    - Remove preloadlib/*; it's undermaintained, and not really useful any
      more these days.
    - Various bug fixes; most visible being the misnamed
      etc/default/apport.default file (which should just be
      etc/default/apport).
  * Merge some bug fixes from trunk:
    - launchpad.py: Send and read Date: field again, reverting r1128; it is
      useful after all. (LP: #349139)
    - report.py, add_proc_info(): Only add ProcAttrCurrent if it is not
      "unconfined".
    - ui.py: Detect invalid PIDs (such as for kernel processes) and give a
      friendly error message. (LP: #360608)
    - report.py, add_hooks_info(): Always run common hooks, and run source
      package hooks if we do not have a binary package name. (LP: #350131)
    - launchpad.py: Consider socket errors when connecting as transient, so
      that crash-digger doesn't stop completely on them.
  * Drop debian/apport.README.Debian, superseded by upstream README.
  * Drop debian/apport.links, done by upstream setup.py now.
  * debian/rules, debian/apport.preinst: Drop upgrade fix for misnamed default
    file again, was only necessary for intra-Jaunty upgrades.
  * debian/control: python-launchpad-bugs → python-launchpadlib dependencies.
  * debian/local/apport-collect: Drop launchpadlib login code, just use the
    CrashDatabase implementation from apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py.
  * Make package backportable to hardy and intrepid:
    - debian/control: Relax python-central buil-dependency to 0.5.6.
    - debian/rules: Determine DH_PYCENTRAL value ("include-links" vs.
      "nomove") based on the installed pycentral version.
    - debian/rules: Only supply --install-layout=deb when Python version is
      2.6.
  * apport/hookutils.py: Add docstring for attach_hardware, thanks Matt
    Zimmerman! (Merged from lp:~mdz/apport/hookutils)
  * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Support older wadllib API
    where bug.date_created was a string instead of a datetime object.
    (Cherrypicked from trunk).
  * debian/control: Drop apport dependency to python-xdg, it's not required.
    (LP: #354172)
  * debian/control: Drop gdb from Depends: to Recommends:. (LP: #354172)
  * debian/local/apport-collect: Print a friendly error message instead of
    crashing if the bug number is not an integer. (LP: #351050)
  * debian/local/apport-collect: Change incomplete tasks back to "New" after
    data collection. (LP: #363126)
  * debian/apport.links: source_linux-meta.py -> source_linux.py package hook,
    so that apport-collect works on "linux" source bug tasks. These get
    opportunistically translated into binary packages, but the binary "linux"
    is built by the source "linux-meta". (LP: #350131)
  * debian/local/setup-apport-retracer:
    - Use ports.ubuntu.com for non-{i386,amd64,lpia}.
    - Set up Jaunty by default.
    - Fix test for being in local unpackaged apport source tree.
    - Drop installation of python-launchpad-bugs.
    - Install bzr branches/packages necessary for launchpad, in a shared
      ~/launchpadlib/ tree: launchpadlib, wadllib, oauth, lazr.uri, httplib2,
      simplejson.
    - Clean up apport-chroot calling for extra packages.

apport (1.0-0ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Apport has a proper upstream trunk now (lp:apport) and made an 1.0
    upstream release. Use this as an orig.tar.gz. This does not change any
    code for Jaunty, just removes the Fedora/OpenSUSE specific .spec and init
    scripts.
  * Add bzr-builddeb configuration (merge mode).
  * Add debian/watch for upstream releases on Launchpad.
  * Drop debian/python-apport.postinst, obsolete for a long time.

apport (0.149) jaunty; urgency=low

  Do some internal cleanup of distribution specific stuff:

  * problem_report.py, man/apport-unpack.1: Fix description of .crash file
    syntax (RFC822, not "Debian control").
  * Move cron.daily, init script, and default file from debian/ to etc/, and
    install them in setup.py. These files are appropriate for upstream
    installation.
  * Move crashdb.conf and doc/README.blacklist to etc/, to simplify setup.py.
  * setup.py: Move *.mo generation/installation into my_install_data class,
    for cleanliness.
  * Move installation of missing packages for retracing from
    bin/apport-retrace to new abstract interface apport/packaging.py,
    install_retracing_packages() and remove_packages(), and move the apt/dpkg
    code to backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py. This removes a major piece of
    apt/dpkg specific code from non-backends.
  * bin/apport-retrace: Rename option --no-dpkg to --no-pkg and update
    bin/apport-chroot accordingly.
  * Move bin/apport-chroot and man/apport-chroot.1 to debian/local, since they
    are totally Debian/Ubuntu specific.
  * debian/local/setup-apport-retracer: Update apport-chroot and crashdb.conf
    paths for above changes.
  * apport/hookutils.py, files_in_package(): Replace dpkg-query call with
    packaging.get_files(), to avoid Debianism.
  * man/apport-retrace.1: Drop reference to "apt", simply talk about package

  * apport/hookutils.py: add attach_media_build to include information about
    the build of installation media in use (i.e. in a casper live CD
    environment)
  * general-hooks/ubuntu.py: use attach_media_build (LP: #351781)
  * bin/apportcheckresume: Use attach_file_if_exists rather than attach_file to
    avoid spurious error messages about non-existent log files (LP: #351973)
  
  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * debian/local/ubuntu-bug: Drop generic passthrough of apport-{cli,gtk,kde}
    options since this leads to too much confusion. Instead just support a
    single argument and check whether it is a pid, a package name, a .crash
    file, or a program path. This does the right thing when calling it with a
    .crash file (LP: #347392) and fixes the help output (LP: #344923) Update
    manpage accordingly.
  * apport/hookutils.py: Move attach_media_build() to
    general-hooks/ubuntu.py, since it is Ubuntu specific.
  * bin/apport-retrace: Fix KeyError crash on bugs with an ExecutablePath
    which does not exist any more. Close the bug as invalid instead.
    (LP: #352331)
  * bin/kernel_oops: Add "kernel-oops" tag. Since both bin/kernel_oops and
    bin/apportcheckresume use the "kerneloops" bug class, it previously was
    hard to filter out the bug reports which were real oopses. (LP: #349621)

apport (0.146) jaunty; urgency=low

  * apport/report.py, _generate_sigsegv_report(): Turn into a class method, so
    that it can be used by test cases in other modules as well. Also add
    missing Signal field.
  * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Fully enable operation with
    staging.launchpad.net.
  * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Add initial test suite, performing data
    upload, Python and SEGV bug reporting, report download, report updating,
    tag and duplicate handling. This happens on staging.launchpad.net.
  * apport/crashdb.py: Add new interface duplicate_of(id) to return the master
    bug of a duplicate. Also document that close_duplicate() with "None"
    master bug will un-duplicate the bug.
  * apport/crashdb_impl/{launchpad,memory}.py: Implement duplicate_of() and
    add test cases. The Launchpad test case reproduces the
    "duplicate-of-a-duplicate" regression, which now got fixed in
    python-launchpad-bugs bzr head.
  * apport/ui.py, open_url(): Also consider a sesssion as "GNOME" if gconfd-2
    is running; some variants such as UNR do not have gnome-panel; this fixes
    using the preferred browser for them. (LP: #322386)
  * debian/local/apport-collect: Add new option -p to explicitly specify a
    (binary) package name instead of guesstimating it from the bug's source
    package tasks. Document new option in debian/local/apport-collect.1.
    (LP: #333875)
  * apport/crashdb.py, duplicate_db_consolidate(): Add logging about removing
    invalidated bugs from the duplicate database, now that this actually
    works.
  * debian/local/ubuntu-bug.1: Update for the possibility to specify a package
    name or PID without any options. Also document the "ubuntu-bug linux"
    special case. (LP: #348985)
  * debian/local/ubuntu-bug.1: Add missing documentation of the case of
    specifying a path name.
  * backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: When unpacking source trees, try
    "debian/rules setup" last, since it is the least common variant.
  * debian/local/ubuntu-fat-chroot: Divert away
    /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1b3/xulrunner-bin. It is called on debian/rules
    patch in xulrunner-1.9.1 and hangs eternally in the fakechroots. This is
    only a temporary kludge, though, until the next xulrunner version lands.
  * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Add test case: Update a bug report which
    got marked as a duplicate during processing. This reproduces #349407.
  * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py, update(): Intercept and ignore IOErrors
    when changing the bug priority. This happens if a bug gets duplicated
    underneath us. (LP: #349407)
  * apport/crashdb.py, get_crashdb(): Print syntax errors from parsing
    conf.d/*.conf to stderr.
  * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Support new CrashDB option "project"
    which can be set to a LP project name to file bugs against that project
    instead of the distribution. Add test case for filing crash bug against a
    project, updating it, duplicating/unduplicating it, and determining fixed
    version. (LP: #338835)
  * bin/crash-digger: If apport-retrace exits with 99, consider it a transient
    error and just stop the retracer, but don't leave the lock file behind.
    Add appropriate test case to test-crash-digger.
  * bin/apport-retrace: If apt update fails due to a "hash sum mismatch", exit
    with a "transient error" code, to stop (but not break) the retracing
    cycle.

  * apport/report.py, _gen_stacktrace_top(): Fix parsing of stacktraces
    with some addresses missing. Add test cases. (LP: #269133)
  * apport/ui.py, run_report_bug(): Show details of collected information and
    give the user a chance to cancel. Previously, collected data was sent
    directly to Launchpad. Nowadays lots of packages have hooks, so we cannot
    guarantee any more that bug reports only have non-sensitive information.
    (LP: #195514) This also allows the user to cancel if (s)he inadvertedly

  * apport/ui.py: Fix crash in get_complete_size() for reports that are
    constructed on the fly instead of loaded from a file (i. e. for bug
    reports). Fixes displaying of report in apport-cli.
  * apport/report.py: Slight robustification of test_add_gdb_info_script()

  * debian/local/ubuntu-bug: Fix invocation with "--help". (LP: #305841)

  * Remove redundant verbiage from test suite docstrings.
  * apport/report.py, anonymize(): Fix crash when processing root-owned
    reports. (LP: #338033)
  * apport/report.py, anonymize(): Do not anonymize single-character user and
    host names, since they create an utter mess in bug reports, and also are
    very low-sensitive.
  * debian/apport.init: Also start apport if force_start=1 is given. This

      rid of all the logging, daemonizing, and looping code.
    - Adapt stdout/stderr reporting to be suitable for cron and
      redirecting stdout to a log file.
    - Use lock files to avoid overlapping instances and avoid damaging
      bugs with broken retracers after crash-digger failed.
    - Handle chroot upgrading, so that this does not need separate
      cronjobs any more.
    - Drop old -i option, replace with -D/--dupcheck which is a mode
      which *only* checks duplicates of Python crashes (no fakechroot
      handling).
    - Mark bug as retraced after apport-chroot retrace finished
      successfully; the process is robust enough now to avoid enless
      loops even if retracing fails.

    for the patch and the suggestion!
  * debian/local/setup-apport-retracer: Switch to intrepid.
  * debian/local/setup-apport-retracer: Fix installation of python-apt. Also
    install apt, to avoid library version mismatches to python-apt.
  * debian/apport.default: Enable apport by default again, now that we have
    working retracers.
  * apport/report.py, test_add_gdb_info_script(): Use bash, not dash as test
    program for core dumping; stack trace is awkwardly bad with dash, so that
    the test case cannot really work any more.
  * Add package-hooks/source_linux.py: Package hook for collecting kernel
    related information. By Matt Zimmerman, thank you! (LP: #251441)
  * debian/local/ubuntu-bug.1: Fix documentation of -p, it  specifies the
    binary package name, not the source.
  * apport/packaging.py: Add get_kernel_package() to return the actual Linux
    kernel package name; useful if the user reports a bug against just
    "linux". Implement it in backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py.
  * apport/ui.py: "Do what I mean" when filing a bug against "linux" and
    report it against the actual kernel package.
  * debian/local/ubuntu-bug: If just one argument is given, infer -p/-P from
    the type of the argument.
  * apport/ui.py: Drop the PackageArchitecture field for the uploaded report
    if it is equal to Architecture. Adapt apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py to
    fall back to Architecture, and mention the change in doc/data-format.tex.
  * problem_report.py, write_mime(): Add new "skip_keys" argument to filter
    out keys. Add test cases.
  * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Do not write the "Date:" field on
    upload(), and fetch it from the bug metadata in download().
  * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py, download(): Support reading bugs with
    the "--- " separator instead of "ProblemType: ". Launchpad doesn't create
    bugs that way ATM, but at least we have the reading part implemented now.
  * package-hooks/source_linux.py: Drop Uname, ProcVersion, and
    RunningKernelVersion fields, since they are all subsumed in the
    ProcVersionSignature field.

    Uname field.
  * bin/kernel_hook, test-hooks: Throw away the original kernel hook which
    we never used (and got superseded by the proper source_linux.py package
    hook now). Replace it with the new logic of looking for
    /var/crash/vmcore{,.log} and turning that into an apport report.
  * debian/apport.init: Call kernel_hook if /var/crash/vmcore exists.
    (LP: #241322)
  * apport/ui.py: Collect information for "ProblemType: Kernel" as well, so
    that we run the package hook. Adapt test suite to cover this.
  * debian/control: Bump Standards-Version (no required changes).
  * gtk/apport-gtk.glade, qt4/apport-qt: Generalize notification of kernel

    paths.  This reproduces the total breakage of rm'ing, chmod'ing, and
    chown'ing absolute paths in hardy fakechroots.
  * bin/crash-digger: Intercept exceptions when downloading crash reports for
    duplicate checking, so that the retracer does not crash on malformed bug

  * apport/packaging.py: Introduce a new function enabled() which reports
    whether Apport should create crash reports. Signal crashes are controlled
    by /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern, but we need that to control whether
    reports for Python, package, or kernel crashes are generated.

    PackageInfo.enabled() for Debian/Ubuntu by evaluating /etc/default/apport.

    apport for packages installed on the read-write part of the unionfs mounts

    more discoverable and more centralized.

  * apport/ui.py: Add test case for reporting a report which has been
    preprocessed by apport-retrace, i. e. has a stack trace, but no core dump
    any more (reproducing LP #185084).
  * apport/ui.py, run_crash(): Do not reject reports which have a stack trace,
    but no core dump. (LP: #185084)
  * apport/report.py: Fix test_add_gdb_info_load() test case, the temporary
    executable was already deleted when gdb ran the second time.

  * 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.

  * cli/apport-cli, qt4/apport-qt: Fix typo 'send' -> 'sent'.

  * apport_python_hook.py: Add user info, too. Also add check for this to the
    test suite. (LP: #145109)
  * apport/ui.py, run_crash(): Show a proper UI error message instead of just
    crashing with an exception if the crash report is inaccessible for the
    invoking user. (LP: #146464)
  * apport/crashdb_impl/memory.py: Implement mark_retraced(),
    get_unretraced(), and get_dup_unchecked() for completeness, and define
    _MemoryCrashDBTest also when not running file as __main__. This makes the
    class useful for higher-level test suites. Add test cases for the new
    functions.
  * apport/crashdb_impl/memory.py: Support 'dummy_data' option which adds a
    few dummy crashes by default. This is useful for external test suites
    which cannot otherwise pre-fill the in-memory db. Add checks that this
    works properly.
  * bin/crash-digger: Use self.log() more consistently, and flush stdout in
    log(), so that we do not lose logs on output redirection.
  * Add test-crash-digger: Initial test suite for bin/crash-digger.
  * apport/ui.py, run_crash(): Intercept CRC errors from the info collection
    thread, which happens on broken core dumps. (LP: #132212)

apport (0.94) gutsy; urgency=low

  * doc/data-format.tex: Some updates to incorporate feedback from Gnome

    - Do not talk about "Distributions" any more, but "Operating systems".
      Gnome is used on non-Linux OSs, too.
    - Split "DistroRelease:" field into "OS:" and "OSRelease:".
    - Explicitly mention that CoreDump, StackTrace etc. can also contain
      minidump output.
    - Increase document version to 0.2.
  * apport/report.py, obsolete_packages(): Fix crash when apt does not know an
    available version of a package. (LP: #128176)
  * test-apport: Add check that apport aborts immediately if another apport
    instance is already running. Also test that a symlink attack on the lock
    file is not possible.
  * bin/apport: Abort running several apport instances at the same time, by
    lockf()'ing /var/crashes/.lock and aborting on failure. (LP: #119622)
  * Add bin/gcc_ice_hook: Script to create an apport report for a gcc ICE
    (internal compiler exception). Add test cases to test-hooks, and ship it
    in the 'apport' package. (LP: #125551)
  * run-tests: In 'local' mode, only explicitly run the apt/dpkg
    implementation instead of backends/*, since the RPM ones don't have tests
    yet.
  * apport/crashdb.py: Add a second optional parameter to upload() to specify
    an upload progress callback function. Adapt the declarations in the
    Launchpad and Memory implementations, too.
  * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py, upload(): Pass upload progress callback
    handler to launchpadBugs.storeblob.upload(), which supports this since
    version 0.2~39. Bump dependency to it accordingly.
  * apport/ui.py, file_report(): Define an upload progress callback handler,
    pass it to the crashdb upload(), and feed ui_set_upload_progress() with
    some actual data. (LP: #91521)
  * problem_report.py: Remove support for reading bz2 compressed binary data.
    That was only relevant during edgy's development cycle.
  * apport/report.py, test_add_proc_info(): Fix determination of /bin/zgrep
    interpreter.
  * problem_report.py: Switch encoding of binary values from bare zlib to
    proper gzip format, since this is much more useful when reusing the
    compressed value. Retain support for zlib-only reports. Add test cases for
    both old and new encodings, and adapt the other test cases for the new

    values. Add test case.
  * apport/report.py, add_gdb_info(): Make function work if CoreDump is a

  * apport/ui.py: Load crash report with keeping compressed binaries. This

  * Revive preloadlib/:
    - Remove PIPE_CORE #ifdefs and make them the default. We do not need to
      support the Edgy kernel patches in this version any more.
    - Install signal handler for SIGABRT, too.
    - Read core ulimit, pass it to apport in CORE_REAL_RLIM, and set it to
      zero for the program, since we do not actually want the kernel to write
      core files when we pipe the core dump to apport.
    - test-apport: Pass APPORT_REPORT_DIR to the manually called apport
      instance in the memory clipping test; otherwise it'll write into
      /var/crash/, which we do not consider in library mode.
  * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py, __init__(): Only do the "download bug
    #2" hack if we actually have an authentication cookie. Thus, do it only on
    the retracing servers, not on the client side. (LP: #125142)
  * apport/report.py, crash_signature(): Generate a signature for one-line
    Python tracebacks, too. This sometimes seems to happen, e. g. LP#124588.

apport (0.89) gutsy; urgency=low

  Implement private crash bug handling, according to
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CrashReporting:

  * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py:
    - upload(): If we have an Ubuntu bug, mark it as private and only
      subscribe 'apport' (the 'Apport retracing service' user).
    - Add function _subscribe_triaging_team() which subscribes
      ubuntu-crashes-main for source packages in Ubuntu main or restricted, or
      ubuntu-crashes-universe for other packages. It does not touch non-Ubuntu
      bugs, since these are not marked private by default and are outside of
      the scope of this spec.
    - update(), _mark_dup_checked(): Call _subscribe_triaging_team().
    - Note: This entire spec is a gross hack, and Ubuntu derivatives do not
      benefit from it at all. We have to live with this until LP grows a real
      crash database.
    - get_distro_release(): Make this function work with private bugs, too, by
      using p-lp-bugs' safe_urlopen().

  Bug fixes:

  * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Revert simplification change of 0.85:
    BugList returns a set of strings, not integers; due to non-identity they
    do not work with the usual set operations.
  * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Add function get_source_component() to
    query Launchpad for the component of a given distribution and source
    package. (This will be required for implementing crash-reporting).
  * backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py, _search_contents(): Package list is
    actually comma separated, only take the first item. This fixes retracing
    of e. g. #124139.
  * backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py, _search_contents(): Fix package name
    parsing for non-main components. This fixes retracing of e. g. #124111.
  * apport/report.py, _read_maps(): Revert ptrace hack when maps cannot be
    read. maps file is now protected based on process ownership, not ptracing.
  * apport/crashdb.py, apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py,
    apport/crashdb_impl/memory.py: Remove official interface
    mark_dup_checked(), as it should only be an internally used function. Add
    report parameter, since we will need it there in the future. Remove
    explicit call from bin/crash-digger and instead change check_duplicate()
    to call it on its own.
  * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py, download(): Replace dodgy parsing of
    fields from the description with proper code, so that multi-line fields
    are read correctly, too.

  * bin/crash-digger: Mark a bug as retraced if DistroRelease: cannot be

  * backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py, get_source_tree(): Call apt-get source

  * apport/crashdb.py: Add interface mark_retrace_failed(). Implement it in

  * apport/report.py, check_ignored(): round the mtime to an int (just like
    mark_ignore() does), to not get wrong results on file systems that support
    subsecond file timestamps. This fixes running the test suite on the live
    CD.
  * test-apport: Clarify assertion message if /var/crash is not empty.

    dpkg-source.
  * apport/report.py, crash_signature(): Allow ':' and '~' as part of function
    names to cover C++. Adapt test case to cover this.
  * apport/report.py test suite: Do not assume that /bin/zgrep uses /bin/sh,
    it was recently changed to use bash. Directly read the interpreter from
    the shebang line.

  * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Do a bogus call to Bug() in the ctor.
    This initializes python-launchpad-bugs to use a cookie for the urlopen in
    BugList, so that get_unretraced() and get_dup_unchecked() return private

apport (0.84) gutsy; urgency=low

  * apport/crashdb.py: Add new abstract methods:
    - get_unretraced() and mark_retraced(id) to get a list of crashes that
      need to be retraced and chalk them off.
    - get_dup_unchecked() and mark_dup_checked() to get a list of crashes that
      need to be checked for being a duplicate and chalk them off. This is
      aimed at crashes which do not need retracing, such as unhandled Python
      exceptions.
  * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Implement above methods for launchpad
    (moving the code from bin/launchpad-crash-digger).
  * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Set "need-duplicate-check" tag for
    Python crashes.
  * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py, download(): Fetch Traceback.txt, too, so
    that we can do duplicate checking for Python crashes.
  * bin/launchpad-crash-digger: Drop Launchpad specific code and replace it
    with calls to above new functions. Rename to bin/crash-digger. Also rename
    all 'cookie' to 'auth' (as happened with the other applications earlier).
  * bin/crash-digger: Do duplicate checking for needs-duplicate-check crash
    bugs (such as Python crashes).
  * bin/apport-retrace, bin/crash-digger: More language cleanup; we should
    stop talking about 'bugs' and use 'crash' consistently.

  * apport/crashdb.py: Separate abstract from implemented functions.
  * apport/crashdb.py, apport/packaging.py, apport/ui.py: Use
    NotImplementedError instead of Exception in the abstract methods.
  * apport/packaging.py: Add interface compare_versions() for comparing
    package version numbers.
  * backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Implement compare_versions() using
    apt.VersionCompare(), add some test cases.
  * apport/report.py: Fix typo: 'none' -> 'None'.
  * apport/chroot.py: Do not include /usr/local/lib and /usr/lib in
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH, just /lib, so that we still use the libc from outside,
    but e. g. libxml2 from inside the chroot.

  https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/apport-crash-duplicates: Merge
  crash-dups branch, which implements automatic crash duplicate detection:

  * apport/crashdb.py: Add methods for crash duplicate detection.
  * apport/crashdb_impl/memory.py: Change internal data management to track
    fixed version and duplicates.
  * apport/crashdb_impl/memory.py: Add a test suite for all methods, including
    the duplicate detection API of the base CrashDatabase (since it is
    much easier to test it here, on an actual implementation).
  * debian/pyversions: Bump minimal Python version to 2.5, since this starts
    providing the sqlite3 module.
  * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Implement new methods required for crash
    duplicate detection. get_fixed_version() does not approximate version
    tracking yet; it just returns '' for fixed bugs (which means 'fixed, but
    unknown version'). Bump python-launchpad-bugs dependency for this to
    ensure the availability of Bug.mark_duplicate().
  * bin/apport-retrace: Add option --duplicate-db which specifies the path to
    the duplicate sqlite database and enables duplicate detection.
  * Abin/apport-chroot: Add option --duplicate-db. If a file is given, symlink
    it into the chroot and pass --duplicate-db to apport-retrace.
  * bin/launchpad-crash-digger: Add --duplicate-db and pass it to
    apport-chroot.
  * apport/crashdb.py: Track last run of duplicate_db_consolidate() in an
    extra table and add a method duplicate_db_needs_consolidation() which
    returns True if the last run was more than a given number of seconds ago.
    Add test cases to apport/crashdb_impl/memory.py.
  * bin/launchpad-crash-digger, fill_pool(): Check whether the duplicate
    database needs consolidation (i. e. updating the bug states to the reality
    in the bug tracker) and if so, trigger it.

  * Add bin/ubuntu-fat-chroot: Script to install a set of commonly needed
    packages into a minimal Ubuntu chroot (as created by apport-chroot). This
    requires some hacking of postinst and /usr/sbin/ files in between the
    installation stages and thus deserves a script on its own.
  * apport/packaging.py:
    - Add "uninstalled" option to get_file_package(). If set to True, this
      will do an expensive search of files/packages which are not installed.
    - Add interface "set_mirror(URL)" for functions which need to retrieve
      packages and data from distribution mirrors.
  * backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Implement "uninstalled" option and
    "set_mirror(URL)", add test cases.
  * bin/apport-retrace: Use "uninstalled" option now to install packages and
    corresponding -dbgsyms for uninstalled files mentioned in ProcMaps
    (Point 1 of apport-better-retracing spec). Bump python-apport dependency.
  * apport/packaging.py: Add interface get_available_version(package).
  * backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Implement get_available_version(), add
    shallow test case.
  * apport/report.py: Add function obsolete_packages() to return packages in
    Package: and Depends: which are not up to date. Add test cases.
  * apport/ui.py, thread_collect_info(): For crashes, call obsolete_packages()
    and set UnreportableReason: if there are any (Point 2 of
    apport-better-retracing spec).
  * apport/ui.py, thread_collect_info(): call standard_title() and add it to
    the report as 'Title' field. This is useful if reporters modify the
    default title (per request of Brian Murray, thanks). Add test case.
  * apport/ui.py: Fix declaration of the test suite's
    ui_set_upload_progress(). Funny that this has never been triggered before.
  * apport/report.py, add_gdb_info(): Split out StacktraceTop generation into
    separate funtion _gen_stacktrace_top(), so that we can test it separately.
  * apport/report.py, _gen_stacktrace_top(): Step back from the crashed
    program's own signal handlers, since those are generally not useful for
    the purposes of StacktraceTop and only impede duplicate matching
    (Point 4 of apport-better-retracing spec). Add various test cases.
  * apport/report.py: Add method crash_signature() to calculate an unique
    identifier of a signal or Python crash, to be used for duplicate
    detection. Add various test cases.
  * apport/packaging.py: Add interface get_source_tree() to fetch and unpack a
    source package to a given directory, optionally specifying a particular
    version.
  * backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Implement get_source_tree(). This has a
    rather crude 'call apt-get source and guess about directories'
    implementation until python-apt learns about doing this directly and more
    elegantly (see LP #118788).
  * bin/apport-retrace: Add gen_source_stacktrace() and a few helper functions
    to construct a field 'StacktraceSource' with the source code around the
    affected lines in the stack trace (as available). (Point 5 of
    apport-better-retracing spec).
  * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py, update(): Attach StacktraceSource to the
    bug if it exists.
  * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Check PackageArchitecture for 'all', to
    not set a retracer tag 'need-all-retrace'.
  * test-apport: Clarify assertion failure message when an unexpected core
    dump is present.
  * apport/report.py, get_module_license(): Do not iterate over Popen.stdout,
    use communicate() instead. The latter is already fixed to not trip over
    SIGINTR. (LP: #118965)

    lists loaded kernel modules which do not have a FOSS license. This is
    particularly helpful for quickly checking for restricted graphics drivers.
    (LP: #103239)
  * apport_python_hook.py: Move the apport.* imports into the try: block and
    move the likely_packaged() test to the top, to avoid importing
    apport.report and creating a Report object for non-packaged scripts. This
    makes the entire code more efficient and robust against errors in the
    apport modules. (LP: #109955)
  * apport/report.py, add_gdb_info(): Intercept OSError from gdb invocation
    (which might be segfaulting itself) and just do not put any gdb output
    into the report. The automatic retracers can try their luck again.
    (LP: #112501)
  * bin/apport-retrace: Fix handling of packages which are still known to
    /var/lib/dpkg/status, but do not have an apt record any more; treat them
    like virtual packages and just issue a warning instead of falling over.
    (LP: #107474)
  * Add doc/data-format.tex: Documentation of the structure, encoding, and
    standard keys of the Apport report file format. [apport-for-upstreams
    blueprint]
  * Add doc/Makefile: Build and clean rules for generating data-format.pdf.
  * debian/rules, setup.py: Call doc/Makefile and install the PDF

apport (0.80) gutsy; urgency=low

  Collect all Launchpad specific bits in a separate class and provide an
  abstract base class. This will greatly help for getting upstream acceptance
  and the possibility of automatically forwarding crashes upstream
  (apport-for-upstreams specification):

  * Add apport/crashdb.py: Abstract crash database interface. This also offers
    a factory function get_crashdb() which reads a configuration file to find
    the default crash database to be used.
  * Add ./crashdb.conf: Crash database configuration file, for Ubuntu on
    Launchpad. Modify setup.py and debian/python-apport.install to ship it in
    python-apport.
  * Add apport/crashdb_impl/memory.py: Simple in-memory implementation of
    crash database interface for testing.
  * Add apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Launchpad implementation of crash
    database interface.
  * apport/ui.py: Drop LP specific bits and move towards new CrashDatabase
    interface.
  * apport/ui.py, test suite: Do not overwrite file_report() any more, but
    use the memory CrashDatabase. This will test the actual file_report()
    implementation and allows the test suite to check the precise value of
    opened URLs.
  * apport/{report,ui}.py: Move UserInterface.create_crash_bug_title() and its
    test cases to Report.standard_title(). It is much more appropriate there
    and can be used in the retracer as well.
  * bin/apport-retrace: Drop LP specific bits and move to CrashDatabase
    interface. Remove the --remove-tag option, we really should not have it
    here; remove it from man/apport-retrace.1 as well.
  * bin/apport-chroot: Drop --remove-tag option here, too.
  * bin/apport-chroot: Drop LP specific bits and move to CrashDatabase
    interface.
  * bin/launchpad-crash-digger: Remove retracing tag directly instead of
    passing --remove-tag to apport-chroot. This is a much cleaner design and
    avoids infinitely looping on some weirdly failing retraces.
  * debian/control: Bump some python-apport dependencies for the API changes.

  Some debranding:

  * setup.py: Use apport wiki home page for 'url'.
  * Remove 'X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain' from *.desktop.in, since langpack.mk will
    add it automatically now.
  * *.desktop.in: Remove 'in Ubuntu' from comment.
  * cli/apport-cli, qt4/apport-qt: Generalize window titles.

  Other fixes:
  * po/de.po: Update.
  * debian/local/setup-apport-retracer: Revert back 'source' to '.' and use
    bash instead of sh. POSIX sh does not seem to have a 'source' command.

apport (0.79) gutsy; urgency=low

  * debian/local/setup-apport-retracer: Fix '.' bashism, replace it with
    'source'.
  * problem_report.py, write_mime(): Drop preamble argument, replace it with
    an extra_headers dictionary. This is much easier to evaluate on clients.
  * apport/ui.py: Convert to new write_mime() interface from above. This
    finally automatically tags bugs with need-$ARCH-retrace. Bump
    p-problem-report dependency of python-apport for this.
  * apport/report.py: Change example URLs in the testsuite from launchpad to
    an artificial ones to avoid the impression that it is LP specific.
  * backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Formally make this a subclass of
    apport.packaging.PackageInfo.
  * debian/control: Use code.lp.net instead of bazaar.lp.net VCS URL.
  * bin/kernel_hook: Fix/improve the collected information:
    - Read /proc/modules instead of lsmod.
    - Fix lspci argument: -n instead of -m.
    - Add /proc/cmdline.
  * debian/rules: Use langpack.mk for updating the .desktop files.
  * Add po/Makevars to specify the domain, to make intltool figure out the
    gettext domain automatically.
  * bin/kernel_hook, ./test-hooks: Do not rely on /proc/version_signature any

    Also add a test case.
  * debian/control: Add python-apt dependency to python-apport.
  * debian/control: Remove debianutils dependency, it's essential.
  * Drop backends/packaging-dpkg.py. It had some hackish usage of python-apt
    anyway, since some things just cannot be figured out with dpkg alone.
    Since we have to give up on that idea, implement a new clean packaging
    backend 'packaging-apt-dpkg.py' which now uses python-apt and dpkg in a
    clean way.
  * apport/report.py, add_gdb_info(): Fix crash when Stacktrace could not be
    created. (LP: #107853)
  * ./test-apport: Check that crashes create a core dump (with proper ulimits)
    when an unseen crash report exists already. This reproduces LP #105976.

  * apport/ui.py, load_report(): Also catch zlib.error on invalid reports.

  * apport/report.py: Add method has_useful_stacktrace() to determine whether
    the stack trace can be considered useful. The current heuristic is to
    consider it useless if it either is shorter than three lines and has any
    unknown function, or for longer traces, a minority of known functions. Add
    test cases.
  * gtk/apport-gtk, qt4/apport-qt, cli/apport-cli: Do not offer 'reduced
    report' option if the stack trace is useless. (LP: #87430) Bump the

  * bin/apport-retrace: Add option --remove-tag to remove a Launchpad bug
    tag. This is intended for an automatic Malone crash retracing system.
  * debian/control: Bump python-launchpad-bugs dependency to ensure that we
    have Bug.[gs]et_metadata().
  * man/apport-retrace.1: Add documentation for --confirm and --remove-tag.
  * bin/apport-chroot: Add option --remove-tag and pass it to apport-retrace.
  * apport/chroot.py, fix_symlinks(): Convert chroot path prefixed absolute
    symlinks to relative symlinks to avoid fakechroot's weird handling of
    absolute symlinks.
  * Add bin/launchpad-crash-digger: Daemon for watching out for
    need-$ARCH-retrace tagged Ubuntu bugs in Launchpad and calling
    apport-retrace on them.
  * bin/apport-retrace: Mangle bug comment with StacktraceTop to not contain
    invalid UTF-8, to avoid getting Internal Server Errors from LP.
  * debian/local/setup-apport-retracer: Install libc6-i686{,-dbgsym} into an
    x86 chroot, to get sane x86 backtraces for crashes in libc.
  * debian/local/setup-apport-retracer:
    - Unpack and install python-launchpad-bugs locally if the package is not
      installed.
    - Link launchpad-crash-digger into the retracer's bin/ dir.
  * run-tests: Run tests with python's -tt flag to catch whitespace errors.
  * Replace tabs with spaces in all Python files. (LP: #93561)
  * Remove trailing white space in all Python files.
  * apport/report.py, add_proc_info(): Do not regard symlinks to executables
    as interpreted scripts any more (such as Debian alternatives). Add test
    case. (LP: #94732)
  * problem_report.py: Add new method get_new() which returns a set of all
    keys which have been added since load() or construction. Add test cases.
  * problem_report.py: Add optional parameter only_new to write(), which
    writes only the get_new() keys. Add test case.
  * apport/ui.py: Remember currently processed report file and update it with
    the added information, so that it becomes useful for local evaluation,
    too. Bump python-problem-report dependency to ensure write()'s only_new
    availability. (LP: #94678)
  * apport-chroot: Add forgotten sys.exit(1) after printing the error message
    about an invalid chroot specification.
  * apport/ui.py, run_crash(): Check for a field "UnsupportableReason: <text>"
    and display an information box that the current configuration cannot be
    supported because of <text>, instead of processing and reporting the
    crash. Add test case for this workflow. With special regards to our
    Firefox crash triagers who want to get rid of the hundreds of
    flash-related crashes. :)
  * apport/report.py, add_hooks_info(): Use execfile() instead of
    __import__(), since package names might conflict with module names already
    imported into apport's namespace. Also search for hook named after the
    source package name (prefixed with 'source_'). Add test cases.
  * bin/apport-chroot: When specifying --save for login, only save the tarball
    if the exit status is 0.
  * bin/apport-chroot, create: Install /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d to disable init
    scripts.
  * bin/apport-chroot: Fixed command function selection to not abort with
    'unknown command' if the DistroRelease: was unknown.
  * bin/apport-retrace: Replace --no-purge with --no-dpkg. With this option,
    do not call dpkg --unpack any more, but dpkg -x, to avoid any fchmod() and
    other calls which cause problems in fakechroots.
  * bin/apport-retrace: Fix ordering of version numbers in warning message.
  * doc/package-hooks.txt: Add some examples, document source package hook.

  [ Kees Cook ]

    ptrace() the target process to make it readable (proposed security
    improvement in future kernels).
  * bin/apport-retrace: Fix crash for packages unknown to the apt cache.
  * apport/report.py, add_gdb_info(): Limit maximum backtrace depth to 2000 to
    avoid infinitely looped stacks and gdb crashes. (LP: #94455)
    This also caps the maximum size of information that we add to reports.
    (LP: #92653)
  * bin/apport-retrace: Add option -R/--rebuild-package-info, so that
    apport-retrace works on unprocessed crash dumps in /var/crash.
  * Some grammar corrections.
  * Add package-hooks/source_apport.py: Package hook for apport itself.
    Include /var/log/apport.log and the status of files in /var/crash.

  * Add cli/apport-cli, setup.py, debian/apport-cli.install, debian/control:
    Add command line user interface.
  * apport/ui.py, format_filesize(): Use MiB and GiB instead of MB and GB;
    these are the official units. Adapt test cases.
  * apport/ui.py, collect_info()/file_report(): Do not raise an exception on
    KeyboardInterrupt in the subthreads.
  * apport/ui.py, open_url(): Do not use gtk.MessageDialog(), but
    ui_error_message(), and fix error passing so that the message is
    displayed in the parent thread.
  * apport/ui.py, open_url(): Check that $DISPLAY is set before considering
    the KDE/Gnome web browsers.

  * debian/local/setup-apport-retracer: Create tarball chroots by default.
    It only imposes a negligible overhead, and sharing unpacked directories

  New feature: fakechroot support for apport-retrace

  * bin/apport-retrace:
    - Simplify program design and throw away the complicated debug symbol
      sandbox generation, along with the -d and -C options.  Instead, directly
      install the missing packages and ddebs with apt. This makes the tool more
      suitable for running in chroots and has often been requested anyway.
    - Add option -u/--unpack-only which causes additionally installed packages
      to be unpacked without being configured and purged again after
      retracing. This allows apport-retrace to work under fakechroot and has
      the nice side effect of speeding up package installation (we do not care
      about configuration for retracing anyway).
  * man/apport-retrace.1: Update description for the new behaviour, drop
    documentation of the -d and -C options, and add documentation of -u.
  * Add apport/chroot.py: Class for representing and working with chroots;
    this uses the fakeroot and fakechroot libraries when being called as
    non-root.
  * Add bin/apport-chroot: CLI frontend for doing various things with
    chroots (including fakeroot/fakechroot support from the Chroot class). For
    now, this implements:
    - create a chroot (tarball or directory)
    - dist-upgrade a particular or all chroots
    - apport-retrace a bug or Apport report file
  * setup.py: Ship apport-chroot in scripts directory.
  * Add a new package apport-retrace which ships apport-retrace and
    apport-chroot and carries all the heavier dependencies (binutils,
    python-launchpad-bugs, python-apt, etc.). Drop the latter two dependencies
    from the apport package. This allows us to install the apport-retrace
    package in fakechroots (not possible with apport itself) and avoid
    unnecessary dependencies on normal desktop installations.

  * apport/ui.py, collect_info(): Use REThread instead of Thread and raise

    exists, so that invalid values from transient error conditions are ignored
    (such as '/usr/bin/gnome-panel\x00\x00\x8b (deleted)').
  * apport/packaging.py: Add interface get_system_architecture() to return the
    system architecture in the distro specific notation. This can differ from
    get_architecture(package) on multiarch platforms such as amd64.
  * backends/packaging-dpkg.py: Implement get_system_architecture() to return
    dpkg --print-architecture, add a shallow test case.
  * apport/report.py, add_package_info(): Rename key 'Architecture:' to
    'PackageArchitecture:' for clarity.
  * apport/report.py, add_os_info(): Add system architecture as
    'Architecture:' field.
  * apport/ui.py, create_crash_bug_title(): Append warning about non-native
    package if package architecture does not match the system's one.
  * All test suites: Remove redundant word 'behaviour' from test descriptions.
  * test-hooks: Run tests on installed hooks in /usr/share/apport by default
    and add a '--local' switch to test the hooks in the source tree instead.
    Use this option in run-tests.
  * apport/report.py, test_add_proc_info(): Change the python script test
    so that it does not depend on being run in the source tree.
  * run-tests: Add a 'local' command line option which runs tests on the files
    and modules in the build tree. Run tests on system files/modules by
    default.
  * setup.py, debian/apport.install: Ship test-hooks, test-apport, and
    run-tests in /usr/share/apport/testsuite/, so that the full test suite can
    be run in the installed system.
  * gtk/apport-gtk.desktop.in: Only show in Gnome and Xfce.

  * gtk/apport-gtk.glade: Reintroduce window titles. Since the crash

    buttons in the task bar. Let's have the smaller evil then. (LP: #87164)
  * apport/packaging.py: Add get_architecture() interface for determining the
    architecture of a particular package (which might not match the overall
    system architecture on multiarch-capable systems, e. g. an i386 Firefox
    package installed on amd64).
  * backends/packaging-dpkg.py: Implement get_architecture() and add test
    case.
  * apport/report.py, add_package_info(): Add Architecture: field.
    (LP: #87424)
  * apport/ui.py: Already mark report as seen when we load it, not just in the
    information collection thread. That way, reports will only be shown once
    on systems which have /var/crash mounted noatime, too. (LP: #85809)
  * apport/fileutils.py, mark_report_seen(): If os.utime() fails, and opening
    the report file for reading does not change the atime (happens with
    noatime mount option), don't throw an exception, just delete the report.
    (other aspect of LP: #85809)

  * test-apport, check_crash(): Differ between expecting the program dumping
    core and finding a core dump on disk, because this is not equivalent any
    more with core pipelining.
  * bin/apport: Write core files into a process' cwd if the process' ulimit
    requests and permits it and the crashes process is not packaged, so that
    developers get happy again. Test this behaviour with various ulimits in
    test-apport.
  * test-apport: Check that the core file written by apport is valid. This
    uncovers kernel bugs like #87065
  * problem_report.py test suite: Use assertAlmostEqual() when comparing stat
    times, since they are floats on some systems.
  * apport/report.py, add_gdb_info():

    frontends. Add appropriate Conflicts/Replaces (we don't strictly need it
    here because we strip them anyway, but we need that for the moving icon
    anyway).
  * Move icon from apport-gtk to apport, since it is/can be shared between
    frontends.

  Improvements:

  * Replaced old apport.png icon stolen from bug-buddy with nice SVG one.
    Thanks to Troy Sobotka for this!
  * debian/copyright: Add Troy as copyright holder for the icon.
  * bin/apport-retrace, man/apport-retrace.1: Document that report can now be
    a LP bug number.

  New feature: Infrastructure for reporting kernel Oopses:

  * Add bin/kernel_hook and ship it in /usr/share/apport. The kernel can call
    this on an Oops. Add a test suite for it to test-hooks.
  * apport/ui.py: Add support for reporting ProblemType: Kernel reports, and
    add test suite for the workflow.
  * gtk/apport-gtk{,.glade}: Add implementation for ui_present_kernel_error().

  Improvements:

  * Merged various apport-retrace improvements from Kees' branch:
    - Add various options to override some report fields with local values.
    - Add --verbose option and be quiet by default.
    - Read ProcMaps for additional library dependencies, to also catch
      libraries loaded at runtime (plugins).
    - Set correct debug file directory when starting an interactive gdb
      session with -g.
  * Add gtk/apport-gtk.desktop.in: Desktop file for calling apport-gtk in
    'file a distro bug' mode, to be displayed in gnome-panel's System menu
    (see bug-reporting-tool spec). Also add a Makefile to do the
    intltool-merge dance, add it to POTFILES.in, and ship it in
    debian/apport-gtk.install.
  * bin/apport: Call add_os_info(), so that we get architecture information
    even for 'naked' reports which didn't go through UI enrichment.
  * Add ./test-hooks: Test suite for the various package hooks shipped with
    apport. Test the package problem hook for now.

  Bug fixes:

  * debian/control: Add missing python-apt dependency to apport
    (apport-retrace needs it). Thanks to Kees Cook for noticing.
  * debian/control: Add gdb dependency to python-apport.
  * backends/packaging-dpkg.py test suite: Verify that packages returned by
    get_dependencies() actually exist. This catches the 'chops off first
    letter of package name sometimes' bug.
  * backends/packaging-dpkg.py, _init_status(): Add missing space to Depends:
    field format in dpkg-query call. This fixes the chopped-off first letters
    in the 'Dependencies' report field.
  * setup.py: Remove version attribute, we do not update and use it anyway.
  * apport/ui.py: Do not crash if Package: specifies a nonexisting package.
    Display a proper error message instead. Add test_run_crash_errors() test
    case.
  * apport/report.py, add_package_info(): Fix crash when the first dependency
    is not installed. Closes: LP#82561
  * gtk/apport-gtk.glade: Remove window titles in alert dialogs to comply with
    Gnome HIG. Closes: LP#83123

  New feature: Infrastructure for package install/upgrade failures:

  * Add bin/package_hook: Script for creating a report for a package
    installation/upgrade failure. It receives a package name, a number of log
    files, and an ErrorMessage: from stdin. This will be called from e.g.
    dist-upgrader.
  * setup.py, debian/apport.install: Ship package_hook.
  * apport/ui.py: If ProblemType is 'Package', call a new function
    self.ui_present_package_error() instead of presenting a crash. Add test
    suite checks for the package error report workflow.
  * apport/ui.py, create_crash_bug_title(): Create default bug title for
    package reports. Add various test cases.
  * gtk/apport-gtk{,.glade}: GTK implementation of ui_present_package_error().

  New feature: Maintain a per-binary blacklist to inhibit apport crash reports
  until the binary changes. Closes: LP#79408

  * apport/report.py: Add new Report methods check_ignored() and mark_ignore()
    to check for/set ignore list entries. Add test cases.
  * apport/ui.py: Add another return value of ui_present_crash() to specify
    whether or not to blacklist the current crash's executable. Check workflow
    of both responses in the test suite.
  * gtk/apport-gtk{,.glade}: Add a blacklist checkbox to the crash
    notification dialogs.
  * bin/apport: Do nothing if the current crash is blacklisted.
  * test-apport: Test blacklisting.

  Bug fixes:

  * gtk/apport-gtk: Fix return code for restarting the application ('reopen' ->
    'restart'). Closes: LP#81422
  * test-apport: Adapt to new core_pattern kernel interface mode:
    - Check core_pattern instead of the obsolete crashdump sysctl to determine
      whether or not apport is running.
    - Give apport max. 10 seconds to complete. The current kernel reaps the
      crashed process as soon as writing the core dump to the pipe is
      finished, but apport still needs to write the report file.
    - Do not EXFAIL the test for crashes in nonwriteable cwd any more, since
      it is now supposed to work (we do not write a core dump to the disk any
      more).
  * run-tests, use-local: Adapt to new core_pattern kernel interface.
  * apport: Improve logging of exceptions, include environment variables.
  * apport/report.py test suite: Use gdb to generate a test core dump, do not
    rely on kill(SIGSEGV) and the kernel to do it (since we now use a pipe in
    core_pattern).
  * backends/packaging-dpkg.py: Fix return value of get_modified_files() if
    dpkg .list file is missing.
  * apport/report.py, add_package_info(): Do not produce stray empty lines for
    uninstalled alternative dependencies.
  * apport/report.py: Fix test_add_gdb_info_script() to not leave behind a
    stray gzip process which randomly blocks stdin. Closes: LP#78421
  * backends/packaging-dpkg.py: Do not read the dpkg status in the
    constructor, but lazily initialize it when actually calling a query
    function. This avoids imposing the dpkg-query overhead for programs that
    import the apport package without doing package queries (such as any
    Python program under Ubuntu, due to the Python crash hook).
  * apport/ui.py, create_crash_bug_title():
    - Do not crash on an empty StacktraceTop. Closes: LP#81677
    - Do not mention an unknown function name ('??') in the bug title;
      instead, use the topmost function with a known name, or leave it out
      at all.
    - Add test cases for these situations.
  * apport/report.py, _get_ignore_dom(): Do not throw an error for an empty
    ignore list file.

  Code cleanups:

  * apport/report.py test suite: Refactorize generation of test crash program
    and core dump generation.
  * Consistently use 'in'/'not in' instead of find() for substring searches.
  * Changed the packaging backend import, so that its methods can now be
    accessed at apport.packaging instead of apport.packging.impl.

  Some more 'Need for Speed' optimizations:

  * backends/packaging-dpkg.py, _check_files_md5(): Also accept a md5sum
    string in addition to a md5sum file.
  * backends/packaging-dpkg.py, get_modified_files(): Compare package file's
    ctime and mtime against the package list file's mtime and only md5sum the
    files that are newer. This drastically reduces the amount of md5suming
    (usually to zero) and thus speeds up the information collection.
  * backends/packaging-dpkg.py: Use a single hackish 'dpkg-query --show *'
    as a portable variant of 'cat /var/lib/dpkg/status' to pre-fill the status
    cache with all packages instead of calling dpkg -s on every single package
    we query. This changes the time for figuring out dependencies and their
    versions from 'unbearable for many packages' to 'barely noticeable'.

  New feature: per-package apport hooks to collect additional information:

  * apport/report.py: Add method add_hooks_info() which executes a function
    add_info(report) from /usr/share/apport/<package>.py. Also add
    appropriate test cases. This provides per-package hooks for apport.
  * apport/ui.py: Call add_hooks_info() in the information collection thread.

  Bug fixes:

  * apport/report.py: Add some more test cases for _check_interpreted() for
    Python scripts.
  * apport/python_hook.py: Check for a correct ExecutablePath in
    test_general().
  * apport/python_hook.py: Use fileutils.likely_packaged() instead of
    checking for /tmp and home, so that we ignore stuff in /usr/local, too.
    Closes: LP#81244
  * apport/python_hook.py: If we figure out an ExecutablePath which is not
    actually an executable, do not create a report. This particularly affects
    interactive python sessions where sys.argv[0] is empty and thus
    ExecutablePath ends up being the current directory. Add test cases.

  New feature: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ApportImprovements (kernel interface
  change):

  * bin/apport: Support calling without arguments, to support new semantics
    agreed in the ApportImprovements spec: macro values (in particular, pid
    and signal number) are passed as environment variables.
  * preloadlib/libapport.c: Simulate new kernel behaviour described above.
  * debian/apport.init: Set the kernel's core_pattern sysctl to pipe to apport
    if the edgy-style 'crashdump-helper' sysctl helper does not exist.

  Bug fixes:

  * bin/apport-retrace: Beautify error message when report file is not
    accessible. Closes: LP#79568
  * apport/ui.py: Fix crash in the bug pattern search thread if we could
    not determine a package name. Closes: LP#77872
  * bin/apport: Only unlink the core dump if it still exists. Closes: LP#80866
  * gtk/apport-gtk.glade: Fix expand/fill attributes so that the expander gets
    all the space when resizing the window. Closes: LP#80987
  * problem_report.py, write_mime(): Make sure that multi-line values that go
    to the summary are terminated with a newline.
  * apport/ui.py: Fix error message invocation for reporting cloakroom upload
    failure.
  * problem_report.py, write_mime(): Fix off-by-one comparison of the 'inline
    text' treshold, so that apport's StacktraceTop field appears in bug
    summaries. Also fix a corner case in CR line ending handling. Check both
    things in the test suite.
  * gtk/apport-gtk: Add missing 'import subprocess.'. Closes: LP#81007
  * debian/control: Bump apport's and apport-gtk's dependency to python-apport
    to make sure that apport.ui is available. Closes: LP#81019
  * apport/ui.py: Add missing 'import pwd'. Closes: LP#81033

  * apport/ui.py: Get the cloakroom ticket number from the
    X-Launchpad-Blob-Token HTTP header instead of parsing the resulting page.

  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@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!

  * Introduce abstract packaging interface and move all dpkg/apt specific bits

    - Add backends/packaging-dpkg.py: dpkg implementation of abstract
      packaging interface.
    - run-tests: Run tests of all backends.
    - apport/fileutils.py, apport/report.py: Port to packaging.py interface.
    - debian/control: Drop python-apport's 'python-apt' dependency since the
      backend only uses dpkg now (without measurable performance penalty since
      it uses internal caching).
    - debian/rules: Install backends/packaging-dpkg.py as our packaging

    be run as root to be able to actually check their complete behaviour.
    Adapt the other tests to get along with running the tests as root.
  * bin/apport-checkreports: Add option --system to check for system crash
    reports. Closes: LP#62316
  * gtk/apport-gtk: If called through sudo to process system crashes, drop
    privileges to the original user in open_url() so that we get the web
    browser correctly. (LP#62316) Caveat: The user cannot actually attach the
    crash report file directly since it is not accessible to the user; this
    will get fixed once Malone is able to link a bug report with uploaded
    blobs.

    a single space). Closes: LP#78094
  * apport/report.py test suite: Do not rely on a particular structure of the
    'cat' stacktrace; apparently this is not consistent across architectures.
    Instead, compile a segfaulting mini C program, let it dump core, and test
    add_gdb_info() on it instead. This also allows us for a more rigid check

  * gtk/apport-gtk: Defer opening of the bug reporting window a bit so that
    it appears on top of the browser window. Also enable the task bar blinking
    for it when it is in the background.
  * gtk/apport-gtk.glade: Restore vertical padding of bug report dialog labels
    (another Glade 3 transition regression).
  * bin/apport-retrace, apport/report.py: Call gdb on InterpreterPath if
    present; calling it on a script does not yield anything useful. Add a test
    case to report.py.
  * debian/apport.init: Use mkdir -p instead of install -d, since install is

  Optimizations:

  * apport/fileutils.py: Split out heuristics for determining whether a file
    belongs to a package to new function likely_packaged() and add test cases.
  * bin/apport: Do not use the expensive find_file_package() any more, use
    likely_packaged() instead. This will create initial reports in some
    corner cases (like custom non-packaged executables in /usr/bin/), but
    greatly reduces I/O impact at crash time. We rely on apport-gtk to deal
    with reports that do not actually belong to a packaged executable.
  * apport/report.py, add_gdb_info(): Call gdb just once and split the output
    instead of calling it again for each command. This should significantly
    speed up the gdb stage especially for large programs/core dumps.
  * Use cStringIO instead of StringIO in modules.
  * gtk/apport-gtk: Code cleanup and refactorization:
    - Move iteration over crash reports into __main__ to simplify housekeeping
      in the ApportGTK class and get rid of some functions.
    - Refactor creation of temporary report file.
  * gtk/apport-gtk.glade: Split the text in the progress bar dialog so that we
    can use it for multiple steps (like uploading data to Malone) while not
    breaking translations.

  New feature: Bug reporting tool (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugReportingTool)

  * gtk/apport-gtk: Split out crash report initialization to new function
    show_crashes() so that we can use the frontend for other purposes like bug
    reporting.
  * gtk/apport-gtk: Add --file-bug, --package, and --pid options; if given,
    create a bug report about the given package instead of viewing crash
    reports.
  * gtk/apport-gtk{,.glade}: Generalize some strings to not talk about 'crash'
    any more, to make them suitable for bug reporting, too.
  * gtk/apport-gtk: Support --file-bug without specifying a package or a PID
    for filing generic distro bugs.
  * problem_report.py: Add new method write_mime() to encode a problem report
    in MIME/Multipart RFC 2822 format (i. e. an email with attachments). Short
    values are aggregated into the first inline text/plain part, large values,
    binary values, and file references get gzip compressed separate
    attachments. Also add various test cases.

  Bug/crash information:

  * apport/report.py, add_user_info(): Add list of system groups that the user
    belongs to.
  * bin/apport: Call add_user_info(), check functionality in test-apport.
  * apport/report.py, add_gdb_info(): Add field 'StacktraceTop' with the top
    five functions on the stack and no local variables. This reduced 'glimpse'
    is suitable for inline display in bug reports and automatic processing
    (dup finders, etc).

  Bug fixes:

  * po/Makefile: Add top_srcdir to work with current intltool.
  * po/de.po: Unfuzz some strings.
  * apport/report.py, add_gdb_info(): Strip away the 'No symbol table info
    available' messages from stack traces.
  * apport/report.py, test_search_bug_patterns(): Use security.u.c. instead

    files to Package: and Dependencies: value. Closes: LP#70946
  * bin/apport-retrace: Get along with Package:/Dependencies: fields with list
    of modified files.

apport (0.33) feisty; urgency=low

  * debian/rules: Convert to cdbs. This fixes the dh_pysupport invocation
    along the way, too.
  * gtk/apport-gtk: Rework web browser invocation: Use kfmclient if available,
    fall back to firefox-remote, then to webbrowser.open(). Do not call
    x-www-browser any more since this would block if no running browser was
    open before.
  * Drop the apport_utils module (and with it the python-apport-utils
    package), it became too much of a dumping ground. The report file handling
    functions now live in apport.fileutils, and the debugging information
    collectors are now methods of a new 'Report' class (subclass of
    ProblemReport) in the new apport.report module. Adjust all programs
    accordingly.
  * Add debian/python-apport.postinst: Remove old .pyc and .pyo cruft on
    upgrades to clean up after our broken dh_pysupport invocation in earlier
    versions, so that the new modules are actually used.
  * Remove debian/apport.postinst: Those cleanups were only necessary for
    intra-edgy upgrades.

apport (0.32) feisty; urgency=low

  * apport_utils.py: Filter out "no debugging symbols found" warnings from gdb
    outputs, and add some tests for this. Thanks to Kees Cook for the patch!
  * test-apport: Fix AGENTPATH directory when building the preload library
    (recently moved to bin/).
  * use-local: Fix path to apport as well (recently moved to bin/).
  * apport-retrace: Use ldd on InterpreterPath if present; ldd'ing scripts
    will not get us very far. Closes: LP#72201

apport (0.31) feisty; urgency=low

  * Move scripts to bin/ in source package.
  * Add apport/python_hook.py: Default exception handler for Python, to create
    apport reports for unhandled exceptions. Thanks to Robert Collins
    <robert@ubuntu.com> for this! Closes: LP#70957
  * Add new package python-apport to ship the new Python package 'apport'.
    This includes the python crash hook for now, but in the near future
    apport-utils will get redesigned and put into this package, too.
  * debian/control: apport now depends on python-apport instead of
    python-apport-utils.
  * apport_utils.py: Quiesce gdb error messages in test suite.

  * test-apport, use-local: Support both kernel 2.6.17 and 2.6.19 sysctl names
    (crashdump-helper vs. crashdump).
  * gtk/apport-gtk.glade: Improve dialog title capitalization.
    Closes: LP#70652.
  * debian/apport.cron.daily: Immediately exit if /var/crash does not exist.
    Create /var/crash in debian/apport.init if it does not exist.
    Closes: LP#71599
  * Convert all tabs in Python source code files to spaces to comply to PEP 8.
    Thanks to Robert Collins for pointing this out.
  * apport_utils.py, gtk/apport-gtk: Do not pass None to subprocess arguments
    if report belongs to a non-packaged program. Thanks to Robert Collins for
    discovering and fixing this! Closes: LP#70942
  * debian/apport.init: Change /var/crash permissions to 1777, so that custom
    crash handlers (in Python/Mono/etc.) can put reports there.

apport (0.29) feisty; urgency=low

  * apport-retrace: Do not crash if a linked library is not a dependency.
    Closes: LP#65914
  * apport_utils.py:
    - Add test_find_file_package_diversion() selftest to check diversion
      handling.
    - find_file_package(): Check for and respect diversions.
    - Closes: LP#65917
  * debian/apport.init, test-apport, use-local: Adapt to 'crashdump-helper' ->
    'crashdump' sysctl renaming in 2.6.19.
  * test-apport: Restore cwd even when failing a test.
  * problem_report.py, ProblemReport.write(): Support file-like objects as
    argument of file references to support direct reading from pipes. Add test
    case test_write_fileobj().
  * apport: Support '-' as core file argument, in which case the core will be
    read from stdin. This paves the way for using Linux 2.6.19's 'pipe
    core_pattern' feature. Bump python-problem-report dependency to >= 0.29
    for this.
  * apport: Confine permissions of log file to root:adm 0640, just in case.
  * apport: Temporarily drop real u/gid to target user for the os.access()
    tests, so that normal users cannot verify the existence of a given
    inaccessible file. Add comprehensive tests to apport_utils' test suite and
    test-apport. Thanks to Kees Cook for this patch!
  * apport_utils.py, find_file_package(): Terminate fgrep options with '--' to
    avoid problems with funny file names. Thanks to Kees Cook for spotting
    this!
  * test-apport: Automatically detect whether ULIMIT_CORE is nonzero, and
    adapt tests accordingly: check that core still exists after invoking
    apport, and clean it up.
  * apport-retrace: Add new mode -g/--gdb which starts an interactive gdb
    session with the report's core dump. Add this to man/apport-retrace.1, too.
  * apport-retrace: If -c is given, completely remove the CoreDump field from
    the report instead of setting it to 'removed'.
  * test-apport: When using 'lib' mode, point APPORT_LOG_FILE to a temporary
    file. Print it if the test suite fails.
  * test-apport: Fix EXFAILure of the 'core dump works for non-writable cwds'
    test case.
  * preloadlib: Support -DPIPE_CORE mode which emulates the
    pipe-in-core_pattern mode of kernel 2.6.19.
  * test-apport: Build preload library with core piping. No more failed test
    suite checks in 'lib' mode.

  "No core - ignore!"

  * apport: Do not create a report for crashes which we do not get a core dump

apport (0.27) edgy; urgency=low

  * apport: Ignore SIGABRT for now; it's usually signalled from abort() or
    assertion failures and we only get reports with unusable stack traces for
    it (see #61938).
  * gtk/apport-gtk: If gnome-open is not available, fall back to x-www-browser
    instead of using webbrowser.py, to respect default browser in XFCE.
    Closes: LP#64209
  * apport: use os.nice() instead of executing 'renice'. Thanks to Benoit
    Boissinot for noticing.
  * apport_utils.py, find_file_package(): Lower() both strings in the speedup
    heuristics to match e. g. /usr/bin/Xorg -> xserver-xorg. Thanks to Kees
    Cook!
  * apport_utils.py, report_add_package_info(): Do not crash if we encounter a
    'None' current version, which can happen with uninstalled alternative
    dependencies. Thanks to Kees Cook for tracking this down!

apport (0.26) edgy; urgency=low

  * apport-retrace: Clean up code a bit:
    - Move option parsing to separate function.
    - Use apport_utils' report_add_gdb_info() instead of duplicating the gdb
      code.
  * apport_utils.py, report_add_gdb_info(): Add optional parameter 'debugdir'
    to specify an alternate debug file symbol root directory.
  * apport-retrace: Add option -d/--download-debug to automatically download
    available ddebs, create a temporary debug symbol directory from already
    installed and downloaded ddebs, and point gdb to use that. Also add option
    -C/--cache-dir to specify a permanent ddeb cache directory (by default, a
    temporary one is used). Update the manpage accordingly.
  * apport-retrace: Make the best out of a report without packaging
    information (which can happen if the user does not click on 'report bug'
    in apport-gtk).
  * apport_utils, report_add_proc_info():
    - Move heuristics for detecting interpreted scripts to a separate function
      to be able to provide separate test cases for it. Check a few more
      special cases for mono programs.
    - Make interpreter heuristics even scarier to detect some more mono corner
      cases (like banshee and beagled-helper). Closes: LP#58859

  * 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

apport (0.24) edgy; urgency=low

  The "Need for speed" release -- rrrroarrr!

  * apport: Remove _copy_shrink_corefile(): While this has an enormous impact
    on the size of an uncompressed core dump, it only causes a negligible size
    reduction of the bzip2'ed core, but it needs a lot of I/O resources for
    large core dumps.
  * problem_report.py:
    - Use zlib instead of bzip2 for compressing the binary data (in
      particular, core dumps). This results in slightly bigger files, but speeds
      up compression a lot (30 seconds vs. ~2:45 minutes for a Firefox core dump
      on my slow iBook). Closes: LP#61538
    - ProblemReport.read(): Support both bzip2 and zlib compression to be able
      to read existing reports, too.
    - Add/Adapt test cases.
  * Move InformationCollector._get_gdb() from apport to apport_utils.py
    report_add_gdb_info(), and add a test case for it.
  * apport_utils.py, report_add_package_info(): Support calling without a
    package name, then it will be figured out from ExecutableName. Extend test
    case accordingly.
  * test-apport: Do not require apport reports to contain gdb, packaging, and
    OS information, since we are going to move them out of apport.
  * apport: Do not collect static information. It requires a lot of CPU and
    I/O resources and slows down the machine a lot, and it can be added to
    the report later in the frontend. This also gets rid of the entire
    InformationCollector class, since everything has been moved to
    apport_utils.py now. Closes: LP#62542
  * apport: Do not intercept KeyboardInterrupt as unhandled exception (only
    useful for command line debugging, though).
  * problem_report.py: Add test case for appending new data to an existing
    report, fix write() function to not rely on an existing ProblemType key.
  * problem_report.py: Add new method ProblemReport.add_to_existing() to
    update an already existing problem report with new data. Add test case.
  * apport_utils.py, mark_report_seen(): Use os.utime() instead of
    open()/read() and a timeout for simpler and faster operation.
  * gtk/apport-gtk:
    - Collect gdb/packaging/operating system information when the user chooses
      to file a bug and update the apport report.
    - Change the 'Downloading bug patterns...' progress dialog to 'Collecting
      information about the crash...'.
  * debian/control: Bumped library dependencies of apport-gtk, added
    update-notifer dependency.

  * apport: Reset signal handler to SIG_IGN in the crash signal handler, to
    avoid an endless crash/handler loop (noticed during debugging LP#61708).
  * debian/apport.init: Do not let the script run with set -e, so that
    do_{start,stop} can deliver their return codes for proper evaluation,
    instead of immediately existing. Closes: LP#61796
  * test-apport: Check that SIGQUIT does not generate a report. (Check for
    bug #62511).
  * apport: Ignore SIGQUIT. Closes: LP#62511

apport (0.22) edgy; urgency=low

  * apport_utils.py, report_add_proc_info(): Make 'interpreted script'
    detection more general to also work for mono programs.
  * test-apport: Check that non-packaged scripts do not generate a report.
  * apport: Call ic.collect_runtime_information() earlier and drop the local
    /proc/pid/exe examination, so that we get proper script detection. This
    avoids getting crash reports for non-packaged scripts (see test case
    change from above).
  * apport: Do not try to chmod the report file if we could not create it and
    output to stderr instead (this mainly affects local testing only).
  * apport_utils.py, find_file_package(): First grep the package lists whose
    names are a substring of the crashed binary name (or vice versa), to
    immensely speed up the package name determination in many cases.
  * apport: Drop the maximum number of consecutive crashes per executable
    from 5 to 2. 5 creates a too bad user experience and creates the
    impression that it will never stop. Closes: LP#61078

apport (0.21) edgy; urgency=low

  * apport: Keep a partially written report with '000' permissions, and only
    chmod it to 0600 when it is fully written. This stops update-notifier from
    picking up half-written reports and get activated several times.
    Closes: LP#59988
  * apport: Add the executable path to the first line of logging.
  * apport: Run the complete code under control of the general exception
    fallback handler.
  * debian/apport.default: Increase maximum core size to 200 MB, to also catch
    Firefox and Evolution core dumps.
  * apport_utils.py, find_file_package(): Before searching the dpkg database
    (which is expensive), check if the executable path matches a whitelist of
    path prefixes. This replaces the weaker blacklist (/tmp and /home) in
    apport itself.
  * gtk/apport-gtk: Show a progress dialog while checking for bug patterns and
    execute report_search_bug_patterns() in a separate thread, so that the UI
    is not potentially blocked for a long time.
  * apport: Gracefully abort if we cannot readlink /proc/pid/exe, instead of
    falling over with an exception. Closes: LP#59993
  * debian/rules: Use 'multiuser' instead of 'defaults' for dh_installinit.
    Clean up the unnecessary rc symlinks in postinst and add appropriate
    sysv-rc dependency.

apport (0.20) edgy; urgency=low

  * apport: Renice ourself to priority 5 to not slow down the user's processes
    so heavily.
  * Add manpages for apport-retrace(1) and apport-unpack(1) and install them
    into apport. Closes: LP#58463
  * problem_report.py: Test attaching two files instead of one in the
    test_write_file() regression check to assert correct key sorting.
  * problem_report.py: Alter write() method to sort binary data to the end of
    the report. This makes reports easier to read, and also shows relevant
    information more quickly when progressively loading them in a web browser.
    Adapt regression tests accordingly.
  * Move setting of ExecutablePath from apport's InformationCollector ctor to
    apport_utils' report_add_proc_info(), where it belongs to. Check
    ExecutablePath in apport_utils' regression tests.
  * apport-unpack: Support '-' as report argument to read from stdin.
  * apport_utils.py, report_add_proc_info():
    - Apply some heuristics to determine whether the crashed process is an
      interpreted script (check if the Name in /proc/pid/status matches
      the second /proc/pid/cmdline part, and if that command line argument is
      an existing executable file). In the case of an interpreted script, set
      ExecutablePath to the script and InterpreterPath to the actually crashed
      ELF binary.
    - Test this with a shell (/bin/zgrep) and a Python (./apport-unpack)
      script in the test suite.
    - Closes: LP#58859
  * Add debian/apport.logrotate to add a daily 7-step /var/log/apport
    log rotation.
  * test-apport: Fix WCOREDUMP() and pidof checks in check_crash().
  * apport: Install a signal handler for all 'crashy' signals, which just logs
    the signal and stack info and exits. This should avoid a crashing apport
    examining itself, possibly in an endless loop. Closes: LP#58873

    directory and return the bug URL in case of a match. Also add extensive
    test suite check.
  * test-apport: Fix help message.
  * apport-gtk: Make use of the new report_search_bug_patterns() function and
    display appropriate instructions on match. Bump python-apport-utils dependency.

apport (0.18) edgy; urgency=low

  The "mating dance for ubiquity" release.

  * apport-gtk:
    - Use pidof's -x option in the detection whether the program is already
      running to correctly handle scripts.
    - Do not assume the presence of the ExecutablePath key in reports, but
      gracefully fall back to Package.
    - If the report specifies an explicit DesktopFile, use that instead of
      trying to figure it out.
    - Only created reduced report and show the radio buttons if there are
      actually removed fields.
    - Change tooltip of 'reduced report' radio button to be more generic (do
      not refer to the memory dump, but to 'large items', since this is what
      apport-gtk currently does).
    - Support new field 'BugDisplayMode: file | list (default)'. In 'file'
      mode, display the /+filebug page instead of /+bugs and change
      instructions accordingly.
    - Use the ProcCmdline attibute to restart an application; correctly
      parsing of all the desktop file is just not possible at this point.
    - Support new field 'RespawnCommand' to use custom respawning command.
  * problem_report.py: Add method has_removed_fields() to check whether load()
    skipped any fields due to binary=False. Add test suite check.
  * apport_utils.py: Fix the quoting in ProcCmdline so that it is fully shell
    compatible.
  * run-tests: Check if kernel crash dump helper is active, and if so, run
    test-apport in kernel mode.
  * problem_report.py: Support an optional second argument of file references
    which controls whether or not the file contents will be compressed/encoded
    (defaults to True for backwards compatibility). Add test suite checks.

apport (0.17) edgy; urgency=low

  * Move packaging information collection from apport to new function

  * Move operating system information collection from apport to new function
    report_add_os_info() in apport_utils.py, add test suite check.
  * Move /proc information collection from apport to new function
    report_add_proc_info() in apport_utils.py, add test suite check, and fix
    handling of failed /proc/$$/environ reading.
  * preloadlib/libapport.c: Route gcore's stderr to /dev/null to suppress
    error messages during the test suite and to become more compatible to the
    kernel behaviour.
  * Change apport_utils.py to be a public module and ship it in the new
    python-apport-utils package, so that other applications like ubiquity can
    use it easily.
  * po/de.po: Add new translations to make this complete again.
  * problem_report.py, apport_utils.py: Prepend UnitTest classes with '_' so
    that they do not appear in the help() output.
  * apport_utils.py: Add make_report_path(), which constructs the canonical
    crash report pathname for a given report.
  * Add debian/apport.postinst: Remove /usr/share/apport/apport_utils.pyc when
    upgrading from an earlier version, so that the programs in
    /usr/share/apport actually use the version from p-apport-utils.

apport (0.16) edgy; urgency=low

  *  test-apport: Check that non-packaged binaries do not generate a report.
  * apport_utils.py: Add find_file_package() to find the package a file
    belongs to. This uses fgrep /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list which is much faster
    than dpkg -S. Also add test suite check.
  * apport: Use find_file_package() instead of direct dpkg -S call and pass
    the result to the InformationCollector ctor to avoid grepping the dpkg
    lists twice.
  * apport: Immediately exit if the executable name starts with /home or /tmp,
    to avoid grepping the dpkg database in the common developer case.
  * apport: Replace 0-bytes in ProcCmdline with spaces to keep them readable.
  * apport-gtk: Offer an alternative small report (without the core dump) for
    users with slow internet connection.

apport (0.15) edgy; urgency=low

  * Add apport-unpack: Script to extract the fields of a problem report into
    separate files into a new or empty directory. Mainly useful for extracting
    compressed binary data like the core dump.
  * test-apport: Check that dumped environment only contains security
    insensitive variables.
  * apport: Filter out all environment variables but $SHELL, $PATH, and
    locale/language related ones. Closes: LP#56846
  * test-apport: Delete test report in the cleanup handler so that the
    kernel-mode test can be run multiple times without manual cleanup.
  * test-apport: Check for running apport and test executable processes in
    check_crash().
  * preloadlib/libapport.c: Improve error checking, some robustification.
  * test-apport: If using the preload library, wait a second between the test
    process invocations in the flooding test to mitigate a strange race
    condition that sometimes causes the signal handler not to be executed.

apport (0.14) edgy; urgency=low

  * preloadlib/libapport.c: Write core dump into cwd instead of /tmp to act

  * apport_utils.py: Check APPORT_REPORT_DIR environment variable for an
    alternate crash report directory. This is mainly useful for a local test
    suite.
  * apport: Quiesce the apt module's FutureWarning.
  * preloadlib/libapport.c: Re-raise the signal instead of doing exit() so
    that the process exits with the same code as it would do without the
    library.
  * preloadlib/libapport.c: Close stdout for gcore process.
  * Add test-apport: Use preloadlib/ and APPORT_REPORT_DIR to create a
    sandboxed environment and run various apport functionality tests. Also add
    this script to run-tests.
  * apport_utils.py, delete_report(): Actually try to unlink the report before
    falling back to truncating it to zero bytes.

apport (0.12) edgy; urgency=low

  * apport-gtk: Make bug report window resizable when the details are
    expanded. Closes: LP#56672
  * apport_utils.py: Add get_recent_crashes() and a test suite check for it.
  * apport: If the same binary produced more than 5 crashes in the last 24
    hours, ignore the crash. This is a hideous and pretty ad-hoc band-aid to
    avoid flooding users with reports for continuously crashing respawning
    processes. Closes: LP#56362
  * apport: Clean up exit codes to only exit with 0 if report was created, and
    with 1 otherwise (to become more compatible to proposed future kernel
    behaviour, where core dumps are only generated on demand).
  * Add run-tests script which calls all available selftests.
  * debian/rules: Run run-tests during build to have the package FTBFS on
    regressions. Add python build dependency for this (it is already there

  * apport:
    - Move information collection from ctor to two new separate functions
      collect_runtime_information() (fast, privileged, crashed process must
      exist) and collect_static_information() (slow, unprivileged, crashed
      process does not need to exist). This allows a cleaner design.
    - Add missing close() call in init_error_log().
    - Do not catch SystemExit in the final catch-all-and-log clause (will
      become important once we switch to master/slave processes).
    - Clean up handling of temporary files.
    - Log successful report creation with file and package name, to ease
      debugging.
    - transitive_dependencies(): Do not break on pure virtual dependencies
      (like perl-api-XXX).
  * Add debian/apport.default: Default file to disable apport entirely and to
    change the maximum size of kernel created core dumps.
  * debian/apport.init: Evaluate new default file.

apport (0.10) edgy; urgency=low

  * apport-gtk: Show report file size in bug report window.
  * apport: Correctly handle relative paths to core dumps (use crashed
    process' cwd).
  * Fix the GPL URLs in source file's copyright comments.
  * debian/apport.cron.daily: Add -mindepth 1 to find commands to avoid
    attempting to remove the /var/crash/ directory. Closes: LP#55107
  * problem_report.py:
    - Fix precise whitespace handling in continuation lines, add selftest.
    - Add selftest for reading a report, modifying fields, and writing it
      back.
    - Fix writing back binary data, adapt test suite to check it.
    - Fixed ProblemReport.load() to clean up old data, added selftest.
    - Restructure class to inherit from IterableUserDict and throw away all
      the now obsolete dictionary wrapper methods.
  * debian/apport.init: Add colon to description to make output less
    confusing.
  * Add apport-retrace and install it into apport: This tool takes a crash
    report and refreshes the stack traces in it. This is particularly useful
    if debug symbols are installed now, but haven't been at the time the crash
    occured.

apport (0.9) edgy; urgency=low

  * apport: Call objcopy to throw out READONLY/CODE sections from the core
    dump, which drastically reduces its (uncompressed) size (factor 2 to 10).
    This has little effect on the bzip2'ed core dump, though.
  * apport:
    - Support an optional third command line argument which specifies the
      location of a core dump.
    - If a core dump is given, call gdb on the core dump instead of the
      crashed process. We cannot attach to the latter if we are called by the
      kernel (since the crashed process is in uninterruptible kernel sleep).
    - If no core dump is given, do not attempt to do anything gdb related.
    - This matches the future behaviour of the kernel crash dump helper while
      remaining compatible to the previous call semantics.
  * Add preloadlib/{Makefile,libapport.c}: LD_PRELOADable library which
    emulates the future kernel behaviour. This is ONLY for testing and
    development purposes. It uses unsafe temporary file handling and thus must
    not be used on production boxes!
  * Ship preloadlib/* as examples in package 'apport' for people who want to
    play with it until the new kernel arrives.
  * Add preloadlib/README: Explain how to use the preload library.

apport (0.8) edgy; urgency=low

  * apport_utils.py:
    - Add two new functions seen_report() and mark_report_seen().
    - get_new_reports(): Only return unseen reports, add function
      get_all_reports() for the old behaviour.
  * gtk/apport-gtk.py: Do not delete reports after notifying about them. This
    way, we do not need to add another button to save the report (which is
    considered evil UI-wise), but still retain the report for filing and
    examining later.
  * Replace all usages of '/var/crash' to a new global variable in
    apport_utils; this is particularly useful for test suites.
  * apport.py: Overwrite old reports if they are seen.
  * apport_utils.py: Add a test suite for all exported functions.

apport (0.7) edgy; urgency=low

  * Add apport_utils.py: Factorize out some common code of apport-gtk,
    possible future frontends, and some backend tools.
  * Add apport-checkreports: Test if there are new crash reports for the
    invoking user. This factorizes out the tests we currently do in
    update-notifier and makes them easier to change and keep in sync with
    apport itself. Ship the script in the apport package.

apport (0.6) edgy; urgency=low

  * Add missing intltool build dependency to fix FTBFS.

 -- Martin Pitt <martin.pitt@ubuntu.com>  Thu,  3 Aug 2006 09:15:42 +0200

apport (0.5) edgy; urgency=low

  * apport-gtk: Remove the crash report after it got displayed.
  * apport-gtk: Fix exception on startup if no readable crash reports exist.

 -- Martin Pitt <martin.pitt@ubuntu.com>  Wed,  2 Aug 2006 23:42:34 +0200

apport (0.4) edgy; urgency=low

  * Implement completely new UI according to the design described at
    https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CrashReporting. Many thanks to Matthew Paul
    Thomas!
  * po/Makefile: Fix default target to not just break. Now it builds the .pot
    file.
  * debian/rules: Build .pot file on package build for automatic Rosetta
    import.
  * Bring German translations up to date.
  * po/Makefile: Supply '--language=python' to intltool-update to properly
    extract strings from apport-gtk.

apport (0.3) edgy; urgency=low

  * debian/rules clean: Also clean po/.
  * debian/apport.cron.daily: Clean away empty files everytime.
  * apport: Only consider a report as already present if it has a non-zero
    size.
  * apport: Set proper group for report files instead of 'root'.
  * apport-gtk: Ignore 0-sized reports.
  * apport-gtk: Add button to remove the current report (by truncating the
    file to zero bytes; a user cannot unlink files in /var/crash).
  * apport-gtk: Only display reports that the user can actually read.
  * problem_report.py: Add 'binary' option to ProblemReport.load() to
    optionally skip binary data.
  * debian/rules: Clean stale *.pyc files.
  * python-gtk: Do not load binary data (core dumps, etc.) to greatly speed up
    the GUI. They are just gibberish anyway.
  * apport: Switch from apt_pkg to apt, add SourcePackage: to reports.
  * apport-gtk: Use source package name for the Malone URL.
  * debian/rules: Call setup.py install with --no-compile to not ship *.pyc in
    debs.

apport (0.2) edgy; urgency=low

  * debian/apport.cron.daily: Do not produce error messages if 'find' does not
    find any crash reports.
  * problem_report.py: Support iterators, add test case.
  * apport: Filter out trailing 0-byte from ProcCmdline.
  * Add a simple GTK frontend, ship it in new package apport-gtk.

apport (0.1) edgy; urgency=low

  * Initial release. This package implements the client backend part of
    https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomatedProblemReports.
