apport 1.1-0ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

apport (1.1-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * 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
      friendly error message. (LP: #360608)
    - 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  * Drop debian/apport.README.Debian, superseded by upstream README.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
    file again, was only necessary for intra-Jaunty upgrades.
  * debian/control: python-launchpad-bugs → python-launchpadlib dependencies.
  * debian/local/apport-collect: Drop launchpadlib login code, just use the
    CrashDatabase implementation from apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py.
  * Make package backportable to hardy and intrepid:
    - debian/control: Relax python-central buil-dependency to 0.5.6.
    - debian/rules: Determine DH_PYCENTRAL value ("include-links" vs.
      "nomove") based on the installed pycentral version.
    - debian/rules: Only supply --install-layout=deb when Python version is
      2.6.
  * apport/hookutils.py: Add docstring for attach_hardware, thanks Matt
    Zimmerman! (Merged from lp:~mdz/apport/hookutils)
  * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Support older wadllib API
    where bug.date_created was a string instead of a datetime object.
    (Cherrypicked from trunk).
  * debian/control: Drop apport dependency to python-xdg, it's not required.
    (LP: #354172)
  * debian/control: Drop gdb from Depends: to Recommends:. (LP: #354172)
  * debian/local/apport-collect: Print a friendly error message instead of
    crashing if the bug number is not an integer. (LP: #351050)
  * debian/local/apport-collect: Change incomplete tasks back to "New" after
    data collection. (LP: #363126)
  * debian/apport.links: source_linux-meta.py -> source_linux.py package hook,
    so that apport-collect works on "linux" source bug tasks. These get
    opportunistically translated into binary packages, but the binary "linux"
    is built by the source "linux-meta". (LP: #350131)
  * debian/local/setup-apport-retracer:
    - Use ports.ubuntu.com for non-{i386,amd64,lpia}.
    - Set up Jaunty by default.
    - Fix test for being in local unpackaged apport source tree.
    - Drop installation of python-launchpad-bugs.
    - Install bzr branches/packages necessary for launchpad, in a shared
      ~/launchpadlib/ tree: launchpadlib, wadllib, oauth, lazr.uri, httplib2,
      simplejson.
    - Clean up apport-chroot calling for extra packages.
