- Completely rework apport-retrace to use gdb's "debug-file-directory" and
8
"solib-absolute-prefix" settings and only unpack the necessary packages in a
9
temporary directory. This makes it possible to use it in a running system
10
without actually touching installed packages, does not need any root
11
privileges, and stops the requirement of using chroots with fakechroot and
12
fakeroot. This is a lot easier to maintain and use, and a lot faster, too.
13
As a consequence, drop the chroot module, and update crash-digger
14
accordingly. See "man apport-retrace" for the new usage.
15
It is now also easier to port to other packaging backends, as a lot of the
16
common logic moved out of the packaging API;
17
packaging.install_retracing_packages() got dropped in favor of the simpler
18
packaging.install_packages().

- crash-digger: Show how many bugs are left in the pool with each new retrace.
