Bug Description

Binary package hint: apport

As an interim step before retracing of bug reports becomes automatic, perhaps apport could mention to the user about tagging their bugs as needing a retrace. This may get bug reporters more involved in the process and reduce workload on bug triagers.

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
    more, it's gone in the gutsy kernel.
