apport 1.90-0ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

apport (1.90-0ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

  * New upstream release: First beta release of 2.0 which introduces
    client-side duplicate checking.
    - report.py: Break out new method stacktrace_top_function() from
      standard_title(), so that other parts of the code can use this as well.
    - launchpad.net: When sending retraced results back to the bug report,
      update the topmost function in the bug title. (LP: #869970)
    - report.py, add_gdb_info(): Add a new field "StacktraceAddressSignature"
      which is a heuristic signature for signal crashes. This should be used
      if crash_signature() fails, i. e. the Stacktrace field does not have
      enough symbols. This can be used to check for duplicates on the client
      side, provided that the crash database server supports querying for
      these.  Do not expose this field when uploading to crash databases
      though, as it can be recomputed from the already existing information
      (ProcMaps and Stacktrace) and thus would just clutter the reports.
    - crashdb.py: Add a table "version" with the database format version. Add
      automatic upgrading to the most current format.
    - crashdb.py: Put address signatures from reports checked with
      check_duplicate() into the duplicate database, so that implementations
      of known() can check for these.
    - dupdb-admin: Add "publish" dupdb-admin command which exports the
      duplicate database into a set of text files suitable for WWW publishing.
    - crashdb.py: Add new method "known(report)" which can be implemented to
      check if the crash db already knows about the crash signature. If so,
      the report will not be uploaded, and instead the user will be directed
      to the existing report URL (if available), similar to bug patterns. The
      default implementation checks this format, if the crash database is
      initialized with a "dupdb_url" option pointing to the exported database.
    - launchpad.py: Override known() to check if the master bug is actually
      accessible by the reporter, and is not tagged with "apport-failed-retrace"
      or "apport-request-retrace"; otherwise file it anyway.
    - crash-digger: Add --publish-db option to conveniently integrate
      duplicate DB publication (similar to dupdb-admin publish) into retracer
      setups.
    - launchpad.py: Attach updated stack traces from a duplicate to the master
      bug if it failed retracing previously or has an "apport-request-retrace"
      tag. (LP: #869982)
    - apport-kde, apport-gtk: Support the "Annotation" field for custom dialog
      titles for "Crash" and "Package" problem types as well, not just for
      "Kernel". (LP: #664378)
    - backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Fix another test case failure when ddeb
      repository is not enabled.
    - backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Fix handling of explicit cache directory
      name when it is a relative path.
    - launchpad.py: Only query for bugs after 2011-08-01, to avoid timeouts.
    - ui.py: Also anonymize standard bug title. (LP: #893863)
    - launchpad.py: Current Launchpad cannot have private bugs which affect
      multiple projects. Fix test suite accordingly.
  * data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: Fix crash if "apport" package is not
    installed, which might happen on local installs or running the test suite.
  * etc/default/apport: Re-enable Apport by default; we want reports early in
    Precise, and we also do not have unstable GNOME versions this time which
    have known problems. We also have client-side duplicate detection now
    which should mitigate the noise.
  * Drop debian/pyversions, debian/pycompat: Obsolete with dh_python2.

apport: automatically generate crash reports for debugging

 apport automatically collects data from crashed processes and
 compiles a problem report in /var/crash/. This utilizes the crashdump
 helper hook provided by the Ubuntu kernel.
 .
 This package also provides a command line frontend for browsing and
 handling the crash reports. For desktops, you should consider
 installing the GTK+ or Qt user interface (apport-gtk or apport-kde).

apport-gtk: GTK+ frontend for the apport crash report system

 apport automatically collects data from crashed processes and
 compiles a problem report in /var/crash/. This utilizes the crashdump
 helper hook provided by the Ubuntu kernel.
 .
 This package provides a GTK+ frontend for browsing and handling the
 crash reports.

apport-kde: KDE frontend for the apport crash report system

 apport automatically collects data from crashed processes and
 compiles a problem report in /var/crash/. This utilizes the crashdump
 helper hook provided by the Ubuntu kernel.
 .
 This package provides a KDE frontend for browsing and handling the
 crash reports.

apport-retrace: tools for reprocessing Apport crash reports

 apport-retrace recombines an Apport crash report (either a file or a
 Launchpad bug) and debug symbol packages (.ddebs) into fully symbolic
 stack traces. This can optionally use a sandbox for installing debug symbol
 packages and doing the processing, so that entire process of retracing crashes
 can happen with normal user privileges without changing the system.

dh-apport: debhelper extension for the apport crash report system

 apport automatically collects data from crashed processes and
 compiles a problem report in /var/crash/. This utilizes the crashdump
 helper hook provided by the Ubuntu kernel.
 .
 This package provides a debhelper extension to make it easier for other
 packages to include apport hooks.

python-apport: apport crash report handling library

 This Python package provides high-level functions for creating and
 handling apport crash reports:
 .
  * Query available and new reports.
  * Add OS, packaging, and process runtime information to a report.
  * Various frontend utility functions.
  * Python hook to generate crash reports when Python scripts fail.

python-problem-report: Python library to handle problem reports

 This Python library provides an interface for creating, modifying,
 and accessing standardized problem reports for program and kernel
 crashes and packaging bugs.
 .
 These problem reports use standard Debian control format syntax
 (RFC822).
