apport (1.9-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low
* New upstream release:
- Add "do what I mean" mode to command line argument parsing (applies to
all interfaces: -cli, -gtk, -kde). When giving a single argument and no
options, determine the most likely mode, like reporting a bug against a
symptom, package, executable name, or PID.
- Add program "apport-bug" which determines the most appropriate user
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.
- Update apport-cli manpage to current set of options and behaviour. Also
point out that apport-gtk and apport-kde share the same CLI.
- setup.py now installs apport-{gtk,kde} into $prefix/share/apport/, they
are not supposed to be called directly. This also reflects the path
which the .desktop files expect.
- setup.py now installs the internal helper scripts like
"kernel_crashdump", "apport", or "apportcheckresume" into
$prefix/share/apport instead of $prefix/bin.
- Update usage of gettext to work around Python bug of gettext() not
returning unicodes, but str. Fixes UnicodeDecodeErrors on translated
--help output.
- Add missing gettext wrapping for user-visible strings in
apport-{retrace,unpack} and ui.py; thanks to Marco Rodrigues!

Package field. Check whether we actually have attach_conffiles() (which is
not the case when running the upstream version).
* Merge trunk:
- launchpad.py: Fix crash for unset titles.
- Add segfault analysis hook for quick segv reviews. Thanks to Kees Cook!
- run-tests: Replace hardcoded Python path with dynamically detected path.

* debian/control: Update Vcs-Bzr: for new location (moved from project
branch to package branch).
* Merge bug fixes from trunk:
- apport-cli: Fix report saving in "bug report" mode. (LP: #353253)

UnreportableReason and just confusing.
- ui.py: Check UnreportableReason for run_report_bug() as well.
(LP: #361359)
- general-hooks/generic.py: Do not report problems with low free space on
/ or /home. (LP: #381047)
- launchpad.py: Do not overwrite report['Title'].

- New function apport.hookutils.root_command_output() to run a command as
root, through gksu/kdesudo/sudo, depending on the desktop environment.
(Part of UbuntuSpec:desktop-karmic-symptom-based-bug-reporting)

apport (1.2.1-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low
* New upstream release:
- Moving away from deprecated APIs:
+ packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Use python-apt >= 0.7.9 official API and drop
usage of internal symbols.
+ hookutils.py: Drop hal related functions and queries, replace with
udev database, udev log file, and DMI information from sysfs.
+ gtk UI: Convert from libglade to gtk.Builder.
- Bug fixes:
+ hookutils.py: Drop /proc/version_signature collection, it is Ubuntu
specific.
+ apportcheckresume: Fix log collection from pm-utils.
+ Fix various crashes and report properties for reporting against
uninstalled packages.
* debian/control: Drop python-glade2 dependency, bump python-gtk2 dependency
to ensure availability of gtk.Builder.
* hookutils, attach_conffiles(): Remove leftover debugging spew.
* debian/apport-qt.install: Install the individual Qt .ui files instead of
*.ui, since GTK's are now also called *.ui.

apport (1.1.1-0ubuntu2) karmic; urgency=low
[ Martin Pitt ]
* hookutils.py: Do not attach /proc/version_signature, it's Ubuntu specific.
(Merged from trunk). Instead, attach it in general-hooks/ubuntu.py.
* general-hooks/ubuntu.py: Attach package conffile information.
* debian/local/apport-collect: Add workaround for launchpadlib bug
LP#353805, to avoid crashing with non-UTF8 attachments. (LP: #368004)
* debian/local/apport-collect: Fix import of launchpadlib's HTTPError.
* apport/hookutils.py, attach_conffiles(): Ignore empty lines from
dpkg-query output.
* general-hooks/ubuntu.py: Strip off '/target' prefix from ExecutablePath
and InterpreterPath, to correctly process crash reports from the live
system installer.
* apport/hookutils.py, attach_conffiles(): Do not use command_output(),
since that causes error messages to get parsed as conffiles. Use
subprocess properly.
* backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Replace deprecated python-apt properties
with current ones (merged from trunk). Update python-apt dependency to
>= 0.7.9.
* packaging-apt-dpkg.py, get_modified_files(): Do not show package list file
as modified if the package is not installed (merged from trunk).
(LP: #364533)
* backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py, install_retracing_packages(): Fix syntax
error which broke the retracers.
[ Andy Whitcroft ]
* bin/apportcheckresume: the suspend _and_ hibernate logs are both in
pm-suspend.log.
* bin/apportcheckresume: remove redunant check for file before attaching
stress log.

apport (1.1.1-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low
[ Martin Pitt ]
* New upstream security update:
- etc/cron.daily/apport: Only attempt to remove files and symlinks, do not
descend into subdirectories of /var/crash/. Doing so might be exploited by
a race condition between find traversing a huge directory tree, changing
an existing subdir into a symlink to e. g. /etc/, and finally getting
that piped to rm. This also changes the find command to not use GNU
extensions. Thanks to Stephane Chazelas for discovering this!
(LP: #357024, CVE-2009-1295)
- Other fixes were already cherrypicked in the previous upload.
[ Matt Zimmerman ]
* package-hooks/source_linux.py: Attach info for linux-restricted-modules
and linux-backports-modules

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.

apport (1.0-0ubuntu5) jaunty; urgency=low
[ Martin Pitt ]
* Rename etc/default/apport.default to etc/default/apport (brown paperbag),
and add debian/apport.preinst to remove the apport.default file on
upgrades. (LP: #361543)
* debian/rules: Call dh_installinit with --onlyscripts, so that the package
calls update-rc.d again. This fixes the calling of init script again,
which got broken in 1.0-0ubuntu1. (LP: #361579)
[ Matt Zimmerman ]
* package-hooks/source_linux.py: Attach /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume to
show the resume device for hibernation
