+ - crashdb.py: When publishing the crash database, cut hash file names
+ after quoting, to avoid that the quoting causes them to become too long.
+ (LP: #968070) This also uncovered that known() did not actually find any
+ signature which contained an URL-quoted character, therefore breaking
+ client-side duplicate checking in a lot of cases. Double-quote the file
+ name now, as urlopen() unquotes it.
+ - Add a new crash database option "problem_types" and a CrashDatabase
+ method "accepts(report)". This can be used to stop uploading particular
+ problem report types to that database. E. g. a distribution might decide
+ to not get "Crash" reports any more after release. Document the new
+ option in doc/crashdb-conf.txt.
+ - ui.py: Do not upload a report if the crash database does not accept the
+ report's type. This behaviour is not really correct, but necessary as
+ long as we only support a single crashdb and have whoopsie hardcoded.
+ Once we have multiple crash dbs, we need to not even present the data if
+ none of the DBs wants the report. See LP #957177 for details.
+ (LP: #968121)
+ - ui.py: Do not short-circuit information collection if report already has
+ a "DistroRelease" field, as the GUIs add that in some cases. Check for
+ "Dependencies" instead. This fixes information collection for kernel
+ problems (which now has a full GTK GUI test case). (LP: #968488)
+ * Merge from trunk:
+ - test_ui_gtk.py: Disable package hooks for the tests, as they might ask
+ for sudo passwords and other interactive bits, and thus make the tests

+ bug A by address signatures. Empirical evidence shows that this is due
+ to the unavoidable jitter in stack traces (A and S not being identified
+ as duplicates as their signatures differ slightly) and not a logic
+ error. So instead of erroring out, duplicate all three bugs and keep the
+ lowest number as the master ID. (LP: #943117)

+ - apport/report.py: Unwind XError() from stack traces for the
+ "StacktraceTop" field, as they take a significant part of the trace.
+ This causes bugs to be duplicated which really have different causes.
+ * New upstream release 1.24:
+ - apport-retrace: Add --timestamp option to prepend a timestamp to log
+ messages. This is useful for batch operations.
+ - crash-digger: Call apport-retrace with --timestamps, to get consistent
+ timestamps in log output.
+ - hookutils.py: Add two new functions attach_gsettings_package() and
+ attach_gsettings_schema() for adding user-modified gsettings keys to a
+ report. (LP: #836489)
+ - hookutils.py: Add new function in_session_of_problem() which returns
+ whether the given report happened in the currently running XDG session.
+ This can be used to determine if e. g. ~/.xsession-errors is relevant and
+ should be attached.
+ - backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py, install_packages(): Also copy
+ apt/sources.list.d/ into sandbox.
+ - backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py, install_packages(): Install apt keyrings
+ from config dir or from system into sandbox. (LP: #856216)
+ - packaging.py, backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Define that
+ install_packages() should return a SystemError for broken
+ configs/unreachable servers etc., and fix the apt/dpkg implementation
+ accordingly.
+ - apport-retrace: Don't crash, just give a proper error message if servers
+ are unreachable, or configuration files are broken. (LP: #859248)
+ - backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Fix crash when
+ /etc/apport/native-origins.d contains any files. (LP: #865199)

+ readable. (LP: #819357)
+ - test/crash: Fix race condition in the "second instance terminates

+ - hookutils.py: Replace attach_gconf() with a no-op stub. It used static
+ python modules like "gconf" which broke the PyGI GTK user interface, and
+ gconf is rather obsolete these days.
+ - ui.py, open_url(): Greatly simply and robustify by just using xdg-open.
+ This already does the right thing wrt. reading the default browser from
+ GNOME, KDE, XCE, and other desktops. (LP: #198449)
+ - data/general-hooks/generic.py: Only attach ~/.xsession_errors if the bug
+ is reported in the same XDG session as the crash happened. (LP: #869974)
+ - Ignore crashes for programs which got updated in between the crash and
+ reporting. (LP: #132904)
+ - Special-case crashes of 'twistd': Try to determine the client program and
+ assign the report to that, or fail with an UnreportableReason.
+ (LP: #755025)
+ - apport-gtk: In bug update mode, make details dialog resizable and fix
+ default size. (LP: #865754)

+ [ Martin Pitt ]
+ * New upstream release:
+ - Completely rework apport-retrace to use gdb's "debug-file-directory" and
+ "solib-absolute-prefix" settings and only unpack the necessary packages
+ in a temporary directory. This makes it possible to use it in a running
+ system without actually touching installed packages, does not need any
+ root privileges, and stops the requirement of using chroots with
+ fakechroot and fakeroot. This is a lot easier to maintain and use, and a
+ lot faster, too. As a consequence, drop the chroot module, and update
+ crash-digger accordingly. See "man apport-retrace" for the new usage.
+ It is now also easier to port to other packaging backends, as a lot of
+ the common logic moved out of the packaging API;
+ packaging.install_retracing_packages() got dropped in favor of the
+ simpler packaging.install_packages(). (LP: #832740)

+ - 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

+ options, determine the most likely mode, like reporting a bug against a
+ symptom, package, executable name, or PID.

+ 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.

+
+ * 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

+ - 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

+ 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.

+ * apport/report.py, check_ignored(): round the mtime to an int (just like

+ - 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

+ * 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

+ * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py, download(): Fetch Traceback.txt, too, so

+
+ 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

+ 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
