+ - 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

+ as duplicates as their signatures differ slightly) and not a logic

+ - launchpad.net: When sending retraced results back to the bug report,
+ update the topmost function in the bug title. (LP: #869970)

+ 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.

+ [ 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)
+ - launchpad.py: When searchTasks() times out, exit with 99 as this is a
+ transient error.
+ - crash-digger: Intercept OverflowError from downloaded compressed
+ attachments.
+ - crash-digger: Show how many bugs are left in the pool with each new
+ retrace.
+ * Drop debian/local/apport-chroot and manpage, and ubuntu-fat-chroot. These
+ are obsolete now with the new apport-retrace.

+ - 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
