Michael Vogt (mvo) wrote :

Please review/merge support for kernel crashdump retracing.

Overview:
* bin/kernel_crashdump:
  - needs the add_os_info() to get uname and architecture to make the retracing easier (and is cheap to obtain)
* bin/apport-retrace:
  - small changes to make it friendlier for the kernel output
* apport/report.py
  - add_kernel_info: that is not yet split up, but I think the final splitting depends on what information the kernel team wants here, it should do no harm to merge it and append later
* backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py
  - uses hardcoded ddebs.ubuntu.com currently which is ugly. but kernel-image-debug packages are not in the Packages.gz so this method seems to be required for now

Thanks and feedback welcome

lp://staging/~mvo/apport/kernel-crashdump updated
1462. By Michael Vogt

add crash_signature and simple test for it

12 * New upstream release:
13 - Drop all Makefiles, po/POTFILES.in, and most code from setup.py, and use
14 DistUtilsExtras.auto which "just does the right thing" for most build
15 system tasks. This requires python-distutils-extra >= 2.2, see
16 https://launchpad.net/python-distutils-extra
17 - Move all test scripts into test/, to unclutter source tree.
18 - setup.py now auto-detects the required packaging backend if
19 apport/packaging_impl.py is not manually installed.
20 * debian/control: Add python-distutils-extra build dependency.
21 * debian/rules: Drop stuff which is now properly done by the upstream build
22 system.
23 * Drop debian/apport.examples, preloadlib died long ago.
24 * Adapt debian/apport-{gtk,kde}.install to new upstream build system, which
25 now installs the .desktop files itself.

32 - Replace Qt4 frontend with KDE frontend, thanks to Richard Johnson!
33 - apport/ui.py, run_report_bug(): Clean up PID information collection.
34 - gtk/apport-gtk.ui: Drop invalid icon reference. (LP: #389064)
35 - ui.py: Do not reject non-distro package reports if report sets CrashDB
36 (for third-party destination). (LP: #391015)
37 - bin/kernel_crashdump: Use packaging API properly.
38 - apport-gtk.ui: Drop erroneous translatable flag from stock buttons.
39 - Update German translations.
40 * debian/*: qt → kde, add transitional package for apport-qt.
41 * Drop backends/packaging_rpm.py. We don't use it in the Ubuntu package at
42 all, and it's still in trunk.
43 * debian/rules: Drop some deprecated dh_* calls, cdbs's debhelper.mk has
44 done them for a long time.
45 * debian/control: Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.2 (no changes necessary).
46 * debian/control: Replace URLs in descriptions with proper Homepage: field.

53 with interactive hooks, but is a good enough immediate bandaid.
54 (LP: #385811)
55 * Merge fixes from trunk:
56 - packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Add backwards compatibility code for python-apt <
57 0.7.9 to not break backportability.
58 - hookutils.py, command_output(): Force LC_MESSAGES=C, to avoid translated
59 output in bug reports. (LP: #383230)

61 that it will fit on small screens. (LP: #365517)

68 - Interactive package hooks:
69 + Add apport.ui.HookUI class which provides GUI functionality such as
70 yes/no
71 questions or file dialogs to hooks.
72 + add_info() in package hooks now can (optionally) take a second argument
73 which is the HookUI instance.
74 + See doc/package-hooks.txt for details.
75 + See UbuntuSpec:desktop-karmic-symptom-based-bug-reporting
76 - New function apport.hookutils.root_command_output() to run a command as root,
77 through gksu/kdesudo/sudo, depending on the desktop environment.

85 lintian.
86 * general-hooks/ubuntu.py: Fix IndexError crash if report does not have a
87 Package field. Check whether we actually have attach_conffiles() (which is
88 not the case when running the upstream version).
89 * Merge trunk:
90 - launchpad.py: Fix crash for unset titles.
91 - Add segfault analysis hook for quick segv reviews. Thanks to Kees Cook!
92 - run-tests: Replace hardcoded Python path with dynamically detected path.

103 UnreportableReason and just confusing.
104 - ui.py: Check UnreportableReason for run_report_bug() as well.

106 - general-hooks/generic.py: Do not report problems with low free space on
107 / or /home. (LP: #381047)

130 + hookutils.py: Drop /proc/version_signature collection, it is Ubuntu
131 specific.
132 + apportcheckresume: Fix log collection from pm-utils.
133 + Fix various crashes and report properties for reporting against
134 uninstalled packages.
135 * debian/control: Drop python-glade2 dependency, bump python-gtk2 dependency
136 to ensure availability of gtk.Builder.
137 * hookutils, attach_conffiles(): Remove leftover debugging spew.
138 * debian/apport-qt.install: Install the individual Qt .ui files instead of

151 * debian/local/apport-collect: Fix import of launchpadlib's HTTPError.
152 * apport/hookutils.py, attach_conffiles(): Ignore empty lines from
153 dpkg-query output.
154 * general-hooks/ubuntu.py: Strip off '/target' prefix from ExecutablePath
155 and InterpreterPath, to correctly process crash reports from the live
156 system installer.
157 * apport/hookutils.py, attach_conffiles(): Do not use command_output(),
158 since that causes error messages to get parsed as conffiles. Use
159 subprocess properly.
160 * backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Replace deprecated python-apt properties

183 a race condition between find traversing a huge directory tree, changing
184 an existing subdir into a symlink to e. g. /etc/, and finally getting
185 that piped to rm. This also changes the find command to not use GNU

198 * New upstream release:
199 - Drop some remaining distro specific pieces of code from non-backends.
200 - Add hookutils methods for attaching relevant packages, greatly improve
201 attach_alsa() for sound problem debugging.
202 - Move launchpad crash database implementation from ever-breaking
203 python-launchpad-bugs (screenscraping) to launchpadlib (official and
204 stable Launchpad API). (LP: #353879)
205 - Add new field Report.pid which gets set on add_proc_info() and can be
206 used by hooks.
207 - setup.py: Properly clean up all generated files, install missing
208 mimetypes/text-x-apport.svg icon symlink.
209 - Add README file.
210 - Add translations from Launchpad.
211 - Remove preloadlib/*; it's undermaintained, and not really useful any
212 more these days.
213 - Various bug fixes; most visible being the misnamed
214 etc/default/apport.default file (which should just be
215 etc/default/apport).
216 * Merge some bug fixes from trunk:
217 - launchpad.py: Send and read Date: field again, reverting r1128; it is
218 useful after all. (LP: #349139)
219 - report.py, add_proc_info(): Only add ProcAttrCurrent if it is not
220 "unconfined".
221 - ui.py: Detect invalid PIDs (such as for kernel processes) and give a
222 friendly error message. (LP: #360608)
223 - report.py, add_hooks_info(): Always run common hooks, and run source
224 package hooks if we do not have a binary package name. (LP: #350131)
225 - launchpad.py: Consider socket errors when connecting as transient, so
226 that crash-digger doesn't stop completely on them.
227 * Drop debian/apport.README.Debian, superseded by upstream README.
228 * Drop debian/apport.links, done by upstream setup.py now.
229 * debian/rules, debian/apport.preinst: Drop upgrade fix for misnamed default
230 file again, was only necessary for intra-Jaunty upgrades.
231 * debian/control: python-launchpad-bugs → python-launchpadlib dependencies.
232 * debian/local/apport-collect: Drop launchpadlib login code, just use the
233 CrashDatabase implementation from apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py.
234 * Make package backportable to hardy and intrepid:
235 - debian/control: Relax python-central buil-dependency to 0.5.6.
236 - debian/rules: Determine DH_PYCENTRAL value ("include-links" vs.
237 "nomove") based on the installed pycentral version.
238 - debian/rules: Only supply --install-layout=deb when Python version is
239 2.6.
240 * apport/hookutils.py: Add docstring for attach_hardware, thanks Matt
241 Zimmerman! (Merged from lp:~mdz/apport/hookutils)
242 * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Support older wadllib API
243 where bug.date_created was a string instead of a datetime object.
244 (Cherrypicked from trunk).
245 * debian/control: Drop apport dependency to python-xdg, it's not required.
246 (LP: #354172)
247 * debian/control: Drop gdb from Depends: to Recommends:. (LP: #354172)
248 * debian/local/apport-collect: Print a friendly error message instead of
249 crashing if the bug number is not an integer. (LP: #351050)
250 * debian/local/apport-collect: Change incomplete tasks back to "New" after
251 data collection. (LP: #363126)
252 * debian/apport.links: source_linux-meta.py -> source_linux.py package hook,
253 so that apport-collect works on "linux" source bug tasks. These get
254 opportunistically translated into binary packages, but the binary "linux"
255 is built by the source "linux-meta". (LP: #350131)
256 * debian/local/setup-apport-retracer:
257 - Use ports.ubuntu.com for non-{i386,amd64,lpia}.
258 - Set up Jaunty by default.
259 - Fix test for being in local unpackaged apport source tree.
260 - Drop installation of python-launchpad-bugs.
261 - Install bzr branches/packages necessary for launchpad, in a shared
262 ~/launchpadlib/ tree: launchpadlib, wadllib, oauth, lazr.uri, httplib2,
263 simplejson.
264 - Clean up apport-chroot calling for extra packages.

328 * problem_report.py, man/apport-unpack.1: Fix description of .crash file
329 syntax (RFC822, not "Debian control").
330 * Move cron.daily, init script, and default file from debian/ to etc/, and
331 install them in setup.py. These files are appropriate for upstream
332 installation.
333 * Move crashdb.conf and doc/README.blacklist to etc/, to simplify setup.py.
334 * setup.py: Move *.mo generation/installation into my_install_data class,
335 for cleanliness.
336 * Move installation of missing packages for retracing from
337 bin/apport-retrace to new abstract interface apport/packaging.py,
338 install_retracing_packages() and remove_packages(), and move the apt/dpkg
339 code to backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py. This removes a major piece of
340 apt/dpkg specific code from non-backends.
341 * bin/apport-retrace: Rename option --no-dpkg to --no-pkg and update
342 bin/apport-chroot accordingly.
343 * Move bin/apport-chroot and man/apport-chroot.1 to debian/local, since they
344 are totally Debian/Ubuntu specific.
345 * debian/local/setup-apport-retracer: Update apport-chroot and crashdb.conf
346 paths for above changes.
347 * apport/hookutils.py, files_in_package(): Replace dpkg-query call with
348 packaging.get_files(), to avoid Debianism.
349 * man/apport-retrace.1: Drop reference to "apt", simply talk about package
350 installation.
351
352 Bug fixes:
353

368 avoid spurious error messages about non-existent log files (LP: #351973)
369
370 [ Martin Pitt ]
371 * debian/local/ubuntu-bug: Drop generic passthrough of apport-{cli,gtk,kde}
372 options since this leads to too much confusion. Instead just support a
373 single argument and check whether it is a pid, a package name, a .crash
374 file, or a program path. This does the right thing when calling it with a
375 .crash file (LP: #347392) and fixes the help output (LP: #344923) Update
376 manpage accordingly.
377 * apport/hookutils.py: Move attach_media_build() to
378 general-hooks/ubuntu.py, since it is Ubuntu specific.
379 * bin/apport-retrace: Fix KeyError crash on bugs with an ExecutablePath
380 which does not exist any more. Close the bug as invalid instead.
381 (LP: #352331)
382 * bin/kernel_oops: Add "kernel-oops" tag. Since both bin/kernel_oops and
383 bin/apportcheckresume use the "kerneloops" bug class, it previously was
384 hard to filter out the bug reports which were real oopses. (LP: #349621)

403 that it can be used by test cases in other modules as well. Also add
404 missing Signal field.
405 * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Fully enable operation with
406 staging.launchpad.net.
407 * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Add initial test suite, performing data
408 upload, Python and SEGV bug reporting, report download, report updating,
409 tag and duplicate handling. This happens on staging.launchpad.net.
410 * apport/crashdb.py: Add new interface duplicate_of(id) to return the master
411 bug of a duplicate. Also document that close_duplicate() with "None"
412 master bug will un-duplicate the bug.
413 * apport/crashdb_impl/{launchpad,memory}.py: Implement duplicate_of() and
414 add test cases. The Launchpad test case reproduces the
415 "duplicate-of-a-duplicate" regression, which now got fixed in
416 python-launchpad-bugs bzr head.
417 * apport/ui.py, open_url(): Also consider a sesssion as "GNOME" if gconfd-2
418 is running; some variants such as UNR do not have gnome-panel; this fixes
419 using the preferred browser for them. (LP: #322386)
420 * debian/local/apport-collect: Add new option -p to explicitly specify a
421 (binary) package name instead of guesstimating it from the bug's source
422 package tasks. Document new option in debian/local/apport-collect.1.
423 (LP: #333875)
424 * apport/crashdb.py, duplicate_db_consolidate(): Add logging about removing
425 invalidated bugs from the duplicate database, now that this actually
426 works.
427 * debian/local/ubuntu-bug.1: Update for the possibility to specify a package
428 name or PID without any options. Also document the "ubuntu-bug linux"
429 special case. (LP: #348985)
430 * debian/local/ubuntu-bug.1: Add missing documentation of the case of
431 specifying a path name.
432 * backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: When unpacking source trees, try
433 "debian/rules setup" last, since it is the least common variant.
434 * debian/local/ubuntu-fat-chroot: Divert away
435 /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1b3/xulrunner-bin. It is called on debian/rules
436 patch in xulrunner-1.9.1 and hangs eternally in the fakechroots. This is
437 only a temporary kludge, though, until the next xulrunner version lands.
438 * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Add test case: Update a bug report which
439 got marked as a duplicate during processing. This reproduces #349407.
440 * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py, update(): Intercept and ignore IOErrors
441 when changing the bug priority. This happens if a bug gets duplicated
442 underneath us. (LP: #349407)
443 * apport/crashdb.py, get_crashdb(): Print syntax errors from parsing
444 conf.d/*.conf to stderr.
445 * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Support new CrashDB option "project"
446 which can be set to a LP project name to file bugs against that project
447 instead of the distribution. Add test case for filing crash bug against a
448 project, updating it, duplicating/unduplicating it, and determining fixed
449 version. (LP: #338835)
450 * bin/crash-digger: If apport-retrace exits with 99, consider it a transient
451 error and just stop the retracer, but don't leave the lock file behind.
452 Add appropriate test case to test-crash-digger.
453 * bin/apport-retrace: If apt update fails due to a "hash sum mismatch", exit
454 with a "transient error" code, to stop (but not break) the retracing
455 cycle.

787 - Now designed around cron-based maintenance: start, process all
788 pending bugs, exit. This makes memory leaks irrelevant, and gets
789 rid of all the logging, daemonizing, and looping code.
790 - Adapt stdout/stderr reporting to be suitable for cron and
791 redirecting stdout to a log file.
792 - Use lock files to avoid overlapping instances and avoid damaging
793 bugs with broken retracers after crash-digger failed.
794 - Handle chroot upgrading, so that this does not need separate
795 cronjobs any more.
796 - Drop old -i option, replace with -D/--dupcheck which is a mode
797 which *only* checks duplicates of Python crashes (no fakechroot
798 handling).
799 - Mark bug as retraced after apport-chroot retrace finished
800 successfully; the process is robust enough now to avoid enless
801 loops even if retracing fails.
802 - Adapt test-crash-digger accordingly.

1035 * apport/packaging.py: Add get_kernel_package() to return the actual Linux
1036 kernel package name; useful if the user reports a bug against just
1037 "linux". Implement it in backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py.
1038 * apport/ui.py: "Do what I mean" when filing a bug against "linux" and
1039 report it against the actual kernel package.
1040 * debian/local/ubuntu-bug: If just one argument is given, infer -p/-P from
1041 the type of the argument.
1042 * apport/ui.py: Drop the PackageArchitecture field for the uploaded report
1043 if it is equal to Architecture. Adapt apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py to
1044 fall back to Architecture, and mention the change in doc/data-format.tex.
1045 * problem_report.py, write_mime(): Add new "skip_keys" argument to filter
1046 out keys. Add test cases.
1047 * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Do not write the "Date:" field on
1048 upload(), and fetch it from the bug metadata in download().
1049 * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py, download(): Support reading bugs with
1050 the "--- " separator instead of "ProblemType: ". Launchpad doesn't create
1051 bugs that way ATM, but at least we have the reading part implemented now.
1052 * package-hooks/source_linux.py: Drop Uname, ProcVersion, and
1053 RunningKernelVersion fields, since they are all subsumed in the
1054 ProcVersionSignature field.
1055 * apport/ui.py, run_report_bug(): Strip spaces from package argument.
1056 * apport/ui.py, add_hooks_info(): Collect OS info first, then call the
1057 package hooks, so that the linux hook actually has a chance to delete the
1058 Uname field.
1059 * bin/kernel_hook, test-hooks: Throw away the original kernel hook which
1060 we never used (and got superseded by the proper source_linux.py package
1061 hook now). Replace it with the new logic of looking for
1062 /var/crash/vmcore{,.log} and turning that into an apport report.
1063 * debian/apport.init: Call kernel_hook if /var/crash/vmcore exists.
1064 (LP: #241322)
1065 * apport/ui.py: Collect information for "ProblemType: Kernel" as well, so
1066 that we run the package hook. Adapt test suite to cover this.
1067 * debian/control: Bump Standards-Version (no required changes).
1068 * gtk/apport-gtk.glade, qt4/apport-qt: Generalize notification of kernel
1069 crash, since it now happens after a boot, not right after the BUG/OOPS.
1070 But in the future we want to cover both cases.

1406 * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py, download(): Use Bug.description_raw,
1407 since LP mangles spaces in .description. Bump p-lp-bugs dependency.
1408 * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py, close_duplicate(): Explicitly set the
1409 duplicate after removing attachments, since the new LP does not allow any
1410 modification of duplicate bugs.

1471 Gnome is used on non-Linux OSs, too.
1472 - Split "DistroRelease:" field into "OS:" and "OSRelease:".
1473 - Explicitly mention that CoreDump, StackTrace etc. can also contain
1474 minidump output.
1475 - Increase document version to 0.2.
1476 * apport/report.py, obsolete_packages(): Fix crash when apt does not know an
1477 available version of a package. (LP: #128176)
1478 * test-apport: Add check that apport aborts immediately if another apport
1479 instance is already running. Also test that a symlink attack on the lock
1480 file is not possible.
1481 * bin/apport: Abort running several apport instances at the same time, by
1482 lockf()'ing /var/crashes/.lock and aborting on failure. (LP: #119622)
1483 * Add bin/gcc_ice_hook: Script to create an apport report for a gcc ICE
1484 (internal compiler exception). Add test cases to test-hooks, and ship it
1485 in the 'apport' package. (LP: #125551)
1486 * run-tests: In 'local' mode, only explicitly run the apt/dpkg
1487 implementation instead of backends/*, since the RPM ones don't have tests
1488 yet.
1489 * apport/crashdb.py: Add a second optional parameter to upload() to specify
1490 an upload progress callback function. Adapt the declarations in the
1491 Launchpad and Memory implementations, too.
1492 * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py, upload(): Pass upload progress callback
1493 handler to launchpadBugs.storeblob.upload(), which supports this since
1494 version 0.2~39. Bump dependency to it accordingly.
1495 * apport/ui.py, file_report(): Define an upload progress callback handler,

1497 some actual data. (LP: #91521)
1498 * problem_report.py: Remove support for reading bz2 compressed binary data.
1499 That was only relevant during edgy's development cycle.
1500 * apport/report.py, test_add_proc_info(): Fix determination of /bin/zgrep
1501 interpreter.
1502 * problem_report.py: Switch encoding of binary values from bare zlib to
1503 proper gzip format, since this is much more useful when reusing the
1504 compressed value. Retain support for zlib-only reports. Add test cases for
1505 both old and new encodings, and adapt the other test cases for the new
1506 format. Update doc/data-format.tex accordingly.
1507 * problem_report.py, write(): Add new permitted 'binary' argument value
1508 'compressed', which retains gzip compressed binary values instead of
1509 unpacking them transparently. Add test cases.
1510 * problem_report, write_mime(): Eliminate unnecessary usage of StringIO.

1512 values. Add test case.

1514 compressed value.
1515 * apport/ui.py: Load crash report with keeping compressed binaries. This
1516 avoids loading the entire uncompressed core dump into memory, and avoids
1517 recompressing it all over again for generating the crash database upload
1518 MIME document. This greatly speeds up crash reporting, too. (LP: #98562)

1569 * Revive preloadlib/:
1570 - Remove PIPE_CORE #ifdefs and make them the default. We do not need to
1571 support the Edgy kernel patches in this version any more.
1572 - Install signal handler for SIGABRT, too.
1573 - Read core ulimit, pass it to apport in CORE_REAL_RLIM, and set it to
1574 zero for the program, since we do not actually want the kernel to write
1575 core files when we pipe the core dump to apport.
1576 - test-apport: Pass APPORT_REPORT_DIR to the manually called apport
1577 instance in the memory clipping test; otherwise it'll write into
1578 /var/crash/, which we do not consider in library mode.
1579 * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py, __init__(): Only do the "download bug

1636 from core dumps.
1637 * bin/apport: Fall back to reading signal number and PID directly from the

1639 e. when running on a non-Ubuntu kernel).

1664 * po/de.po: Updated for apport-cli.

1681 Implement private crash bug handling, according to
1682 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CrashReporting:
1683
1684 * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py:
1685 - upload(): If we have an Ubuntu bug, mark it as private and only
1686 subscribe 'apport' (the 'Apport retracing service' user).
1687 - Add function _subscribe_triaging_team() which subscribes
1688 ubuntu-crashes-main for source packages in Ubuntu main or restricted, or
1689 ubuntu-crashes-universe for other packages. It does not touch non-Ubuntu
1690 bugs, since these are not marked private by default and are outside of
1691 the scope of this spec.
1692 - update(), _mark_dup_checked(): Call _subscribe_triaging_team().
1693 - Note: This entire spec is a gross hack, and Ubuntu derivatives do not
1694 benefit from it at all. We have to live with this until LP grows a real
1695 crash database.
1696 - get_distro_release(): Make this function work with private bugs, too, by
1697 using p-lp-bugs' safe_urlopen().
1698
1699 Bug fixes:
1700
1701 * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Revert simplification change of 0.85:
1702 BugList returns a set of strings, not integers; due to non-identity they
1703 do not work with the usual set operations.
1704 * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Add function get_source_component() to
1705 query Launchpad for the component of a given distribution and source
1706 package. (This will be required for implementing crash-reporting).
1707 * backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py, _search_contents(): Package list is
1708 actually comma separated, only take the first item. This fixes retracing
1709 of e. g. #124139.
1710 * backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py, _search_contents(): Fix package name
1711 parsing for non-main components. This fixes retracing of e. g. #124111.
1712 * apport/report.py, _read_maps(): Revert ptrace hack when maps cannot be
1713 read. maps file is now protected based on process ownership, not ptracing.
1714 * apport/crashdb.py, apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py,
1715 apport/crashdb_impl/memory.py: Remove official interface
1716 mark_dup_checked(), as it should only be an internally used function. Add
1717 report parameter, since we will need it there in the future. Remove
1718 explicit call from bin/crash-digger and instead change check_duplicate()
1719 to call it on its own.
1720 * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py, download(): Replace dodgy parsing of

1722 are read correctly, too.

1798 obsolete.
1799 * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Do a bogus call to Bug() in the ctor.
1800 This initializes python-launchpad-bugs to use a cookie for the urlopen in
1801 BugList, so that get_unretraced() and get_dup_unchecked() return private
1802 bugs, too. This works around LP #122126.

1808 * apport/crashdb.py: Add new abstract methods:
1809 - get_unretraced() and mark_retraced(id) to get a list of crashes that
1810 need to be retraced and chalk them off.
1811 - get_dup_unchecked() and mark_dup_checked() to get a list of crashes that
1812 need to be checked for being a duplicate and chalk them off. This is
1813 aimed at crashes which do not need retracing, such as unhandled Python
1814 exceptions.
1815 * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Implement above methods for launchpad
1816 (moving the code from bin/launchpad-crash-digger).
1817 * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Set "need-duplicate-check" tag for
1818 Python crashes.
1819 * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py, download(): Fetch Traceback.txt, too, so
1820 that we can do duplicate checking for Python crashes.
1821 * bin/launchpad-crash-digger: Drop Launchpad specific code and replace it
1822 with calls to above new functions. Rename to bin/crash-digger. Also rename
1823 all 'cookie' to 'auth' (as happened with the other applications earlier).
1824 * bin/crash-digger: Do duplicate checking for needs-duplicate-check crash
1825 bugs (such as Python crashes).
1826 * bin/apport-retrace, bin/crash-digger: More language cleanup; we should
1827 stop talking about 'bugs' and use 'crash' consistently.

1835 NotImplementedError instead of Exception in the abstract methods.
1836 * apport/packaging.py: Add interface compare_versions() for comparing
1837 package version numbers.
1838 * backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Implement compare_versions() using
1839 apt.VersionCompare(), add some test cases.
1840 * apport/report.py: Fix typo: 'none' -> 'None'.
1841 * apport/chroot.py: Do not include /usr/local/lib and /usr/lib in
1842 LD_LIBRARY_PATH, just /lib, so that we still use the libc from outside,
1843 but e. g. libxml2 from inside the chroot.

1846 crash-dups branch, which implements automatic crash duplicate detection:
1847
1848 * apport/crashdb.py: Add methods for crash duplicate detection.
1849 * apport/crashdb_impl/memory.py: Change internal data management to track
1850 fixed version and duplicates.
1851 * apport/crashdb_impl/memory.py: Add a test suite for all methods, including
1852 the duplicate detection API of the base CrashDatabase (since it is
1853 much easier to test it here, on an actual implementation).
1854 * debian/pyversions: Bump minimal Python version to 2.5, since this starts
1855 providing the sqlite3 module.
1856 * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Implement new methods required for crash
1857 duplicate detection. get_fixed_version() does not approximate version
1858 tracking yet; it just returns '' for fixed bugs (which means 'fixed, but
1859 unknown version'). Bump python-launchpad-bugs dependency for this to
1860 ensure the availability of Bug.mark_duplicate().
1861 * bin/apport-retrace: Add option --duplicate-db which specifies the path to
1862 the duplicate sqlite database and enables duplicate detection.
1863 * Abin/apport-chroot: Add option --duplicate-db. If a file is given, symlink
1864 it into the chroot and pass --duplicate-db to apport-retrace.
1865 * bin/launchpad-crash-digger: Add --duplicate-db and pass it to
1866 apport-chroot.
1867 * apport/crashdb.py: Track last run of duplicate_db_consolidate() in an
1868 extra table and add a method duplicate_db_needs_consolidation() which
1869 returns True if the last run was more than a given number of seconds ago.
1870 Add test cases to apport/crashdb_impl/memory.py.
1871 * bin/launchpad-crash-digger, fill_pool(): Check whether the duplicate
1872 database needs consolidation (i. e. updating the bug states to the reality

1879 * Add bin/ubuntu-fat-chroot: Script to install a set of commonly needed
1880 packages into a minimal Ubuntu chroot (as created by apport-chroot). This
1881 requires some hacking of postinst and /usr/sbin/ files in between the
1882 installation stages and thus deserves a script on its own.
1883 * apport/packaging.py:
1884 - Add "uninstalled" option to get_file_package(). If set to True, this
1885 will do an expensive search of files/packages which are not installed.
1886 - Add interface "set_mirror(URL)" for functions which need to retrieve
1887 packages and data from distribution mirrors.
1888 * backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Implement "uninstalled" option and
1889 "set_mirror(URL)", add test cases.
1890 * bin/apport-retrace: Use "uninstalled" option now to install packages and
1891 corresponding -dbgsyms for uninstalled files mentioned in ProcMaps
1892 (Point 1 of apport-better-retracing spec). Bump python-apport dependency.
1893 * apport/packaging.py: Add interface get_available_version(package).
1894 * backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Implement get_available_version(), add
1895 shallow test case.

1897 Package: and Depends: which are not up to date. Add test cases.
1898 * apport/ui.py, thread_collect_info(): For crashes, call obsolete_packages()
1899 and set UnreportableReason: if there are any (Point 2 of
1900 apport-better-retracing spec).
1901 * apport/ui.py, thread_collect_info(): call standard_title() and add it to
1902 the report as 'Title' field. This is useful if reporters modify the
1903 default title (per request of Brian Murray, thanks). Add test case.
1904 * apport/ui.py: Fix declaration of the test suite's
1905 ui_set_upload_progress(). Funny that this has never been triggered before.
1906 * apport/report.py, add_gdb_info(): Split out StacktraceTop generation into
1907 separate funtion _gen_stacktrace_top(), so that we can test it separately.
1908 * apport/report.py, _gen_stacktrace_top(): Step back from the crashed
1909 program's own signal handlers, since those are generally not useful for
1910 the purposes of StacktraceTop and only impede duplicate matching
1911 (Point 4 of apport-better-retracing spec). Add various test cases.
1912 * apport/report.py: Add method crash_signature() to calculate an unique
1913 identifier of a signal or Python crash, to be used for duplicate
1914 detection. Add various test cases.
1915 * apport/packaging.py: Add interface get_source_tree() to fetch and unpack a
1916 source package to a given directory, optionally specifying a particular
1917 version.
1918 * backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Implement get_source_tree(). This has a
1919 rather crude 'call apt-get source and guess about directories'
1920 implementation until python-apt learns about doing this directly and more
1921 elegantly (see LP #118788).
1922 * bin/apport-retrace: Add gen_source_stacktrace() and a few helper functions
1923 to construct a field 'StacktraceSource' with the source code around the
1924 affected lines in the stack trace (as available). (Point 5 of
1925 apport-better-retracing spec).

1929 not set a retracer tag 'need-all-retrace'.

1931 dump is present.

1943 * debian/local/setup-apport-retracer: Specify a path in '.' command and
1944 use sh again. Yay for me needing three attempts before actually RTFMing
1945 how '.' works (which is really nasty and strange IMHO).
1946 * bin/apport-chroot: Fix symlinks before repackaging the chroot tarball in
1947 'install' and 'installdeb' modes.
1948 * debian/local/setup-apport-retracer: Install python-libxml2 and python-apt.
1949 * bin/launchpad-crash-digger: Supply --auth instead of the deprecated

1966 (LP: #103239)
1967 * apport_python_hook.py: Move the apport.* imports into the try: block and
1968 move the likely_packaged() test to the top, to avoid importing
1969 apport.report and creating a Report object for non-packaged scripts. This
1970 makes the entire code more efficient and robust against errors in the
1971 apport modules. (LP: #109955)
1972 * apport/report.py, add_gdb_info(): Intercept OSError from gdb invocation

1992 abstract base class. This will greatly help for getting upstream acceptance
1993 and the possibility of automatically forwarding crashes upstream
1994 (apport-for-upstreams specification):
1995
1996 * Add apport/crashdb.py: Abstract crash database interface. This also offers
1997 a factory function get_crashdb() which reads a configuration file to find
1998 the default crash database to be used.
1999 * Add ./crashdb.conf: Crash database configuration file, for Ubuntu on
2000 Launchpad. Modify setup.py and debian/python-apport.install to ship it in
2001 python-apport.
2002 * Add apport/crashdb_impl/memory.py: Simple in-memory implementation of
2003 crash database interface for testing.
2004 * Add apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Launchpad implementation of crash
2005 database interface.
2006 * apport/ui.py: Drop LP specific bits and move towards new CrashDatabase
2007 interface.
2008 * apport/ui.py, test suite: Do not overwrite file_report() any more, but
2009 use the memory CrashDatabase. This will test the actual file_report()
2010 implementation and allows the test suite to check the precise value of
2011 opened URLs.
2012 * apport/{report,ui}.py: Move UserInterface.create_crash_bug_title() and its
2013 test cases to Report.standard_title(). It is much more appropriate there
2014 and can be used in the retracer as well.
2015 * bin/apport-retrace: Drop LP specific bits and move to CrashDatabase
2016 interface. Remove the --remove-tag option, we really should not have it
2017 here; remove it from man/apport-retrace.1 as well.
2018 * bin/apport-chroot: Drop --remove-tag option here, too.
2019 * bin/apport-chroot: Drop LP specific bits and move to CrashDatabase
2020 interface.
2021 * bin/launchpad-crash-digger: Remove retracing tag directly instead of
2022 passing --remove-tag to apport-chroot. This is a much cleaner design and
2023 avoids infinitely looping on some weirdly failing retraces.
2024 * debian/control: Bump some python-apport dependencies for the API changes.
2025
2026 Some debranding:
2027
2028 * setup.py: Use apport wiki home page for 'url'.
2029 * Remove 'X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain' from *.desktop.in, since langpack.mk will
2030 add it automatically now.
2031 * *.desktop.in: Remove 'in Ubuntu' from comment.
2032 * cli/apport-cli, qt4/apport-qt: Generalize window titles.

2034 Other fixes:
2035 * po/de.po: Update.

2189 Conflicts/Replaces accordingly.
2190 * bin/launchpad-crash-digger, apport/ui.py: Remove the special case

2279 and display an information box that the current configuration cannot be
2280 supported because of <text>, instead of processing and reporting the
2281 crash. Add test case for this workflow. With special regards to our
2282 Firefox crash triagers who want to get rid of the hundreds of
2283 flash-related crashes. :)
2284 * apport/report.py, add_hooks_info(): Use execfile() instead of
2285 __import__(), since package names might conflict with module names already
2286 imported into apport's namespace. Also search for hook named after the
2287 source package name (prefixed with 'source_'). Add test cases.

2458 New feature: fakechroot support for apport-retrace
2459
2460 * bin/apport-retrace:
2461 - Simplify program design and throw away the complicated debug symbol
2462 sandbox generation, along with the -d and -C options. Instead, directly
2463 install the missing packages and ddebs with apt. This makes the tool more
2464 suitable for running in chroots and has often been requested anyway.
2465 - Add option -u/--unpack-only which causes additionally installed packages
2466 to be unpacked without being configured and purged again after
2467 retracing. This allows apport-retrace to work under fakechroot and has
2468 the nice side effect of speeding up package installation (we do not care
2469 about configuration for retracing anyway).
2470 * man/apport-retrace.1: Update description for the new behaviour, drop
2471 documentation of the -d and -C options, and add documentation of -u.
2472 * Add apport/chroot.py: Class for representing and working with chroots;
2473 this uses the fakeroot and fakechroot libraries when being called as
2474 non-root.
2475 * Add bin/apport-chroot: CLI frontend for doing various things with
2476 chroots (including fakeroot/fakechroot support from the Chroot class). For
2477 now, this implements:
2478 - create a chroot (tarball or directory)
2479 - dist-upgrade a particular or all chroots
2480 - apport-retrace a bug or Apport report file
2481 * setup.py: Ship apport-chroot in scripts directory.
2482 * Add a new package apport-retrace which ships apport-retrace and
2483 apport-chroot and carries all the heavier dependencies (binutils,
2484 python-launchpad-bugs, python-apt, etc.). Drop the latter two dependencies
2485 from the apport package. This allows us to install the apport-retrace
2486 package in fakechroots (not possible with apport itself) and avoid
2487 unnecessary dependencies on normal desktop installations.

2565 * apport/report.py: Check that interpreter options are discarded in
2566 test_check_interpreted_script(). This replicates bug #87005.
2567 * apport/report.py, _check_interpreted_script(): Filter out interpreter
2568 command line options. This should make the detection of interpreted
2569 scripts more robust. (LP: #87005)
2570 * test-apport, check_crash(): Differ between expecting the program dumping
2571 core and finding a core dump on disk, because this is not equivalent any
2572 more with core pipelining.
2573 * bin/apport: Write core files into a process' cwd if the process' ulimit
2574 requests and permits it and the crashes process is not packaged, so that
2575 developers get happy again. Test this behaviour with various ulimits in
2576 test-apport.
2577 * test-apport: Check that the core file written by apport is valid. This
2578 uncovers kernel bugs like #87065
2579 * problem_report.py test suite: Use assertAlmostEqual() when comparing stat
2580 times, since they are floats on some systems.
2581 * apport/report.py, add_gdb_info():
2582 - Remove all the initial gdb output, which gets rid of the duplicated #0
2583 line.
2584 - Replace some stray tabs with spaces.
2585 - Thanks to Kees Cook for this!

2597 * apport/ui.py: Intercept ENOMEM and fail gracefully; there is little else
2598 we can do at that point, and there is no point in presenting a crash
2599 report for this. (LP: #85155)
2600 * apport/ui.py: Ignore KeyError when deleting the CoreDump field on sending
2601 a reduced report. This Should Not Happen™, but nevertheless did.
2602 (LP: #86083)
2603 * gtk/apport-gtk, qt4/apport-qt: Intercept ImportError for the non-builtin
2604 Python modules. This usually happens for crashes when there is a
2605 dist-upgrade active and some Python packages have not been configured yet.
2606 (LP: #86007)
2607 * apport/ui.py: If the problem report does not apply to a packaged program,
2608 and we have an ExecutablePath, mention it in the error message for easier
2609 debugging.
2610 * apport/python_hook.py: Resolve symbolic links in ExecutablePath.
2611 (LP: #85529)
2612 * apport/ui.py, open_url(): Remove debugging print statement again, now
2613 that we tracked down bug #83974.

2619 * apport/ui.py, open_url(): When being invoked as root, call gnome-open or
2620 firefox as root through sudo instead of dropping our uid/gid and calling
2621 it normally. The latter does not work for Firefox for some mysterious
2622 reason. Thanks to Mika Fischer for this trick. (LP: #81207)
2623 * Add debian/local/ubuntu-bug.1: Manpage for ubuntu-bug. Add it to
2624 debian/apport.manpages.
2625 * qt4/apport-qt: Add some missing features that are present in the GTK UI:
2626 - Do not show details by default, add a button to show them.
2627 - Add complete/reduced bug report radio buttons.
2628 - Thanks to Michael Hofmann for this!

2634 * Add debian/local/ubuntu-bug: Check for a running KDE or Gnome session,
2635 availability of apport-gtk and -qt, and open the appropriate GUI in bug
2636 filing mode. This makes it convenient for shell users and is also required
2637 for proper Firefox 'Report a bug...' menu integration (see bug #85041).
2638 * debian/apport.install: Install ubuntu-bug to /usr/bin.
2639 * gtk/apport-gtk: Generously add some gtk.main_iteration() calls to avoid
2640 hanging dialogs, since we do not have a main loop.
2641 * apport/ui.py: Do not silently ignore exceptions while uploading data to
2642 Launchpad, but intercept them and display their message in the error
2643 dialog. (Part of LP: #84992)
2644 * apport/ui.py: Switch from edge.launchpad.net to production launchpad.net,
2645 since the necessary bits are now there. (LP: #84992)

2661 collection window to avoid a hanging dead dialog.
2662 * gtk/apport-gtk: Do not count the lines of fields with binary data. This
2663 particularly avoids long delays with huge core dumps. (LP: #81979)
2664 * apport/ui.py, open_url(): Print URL to stdout, so that we can debug the

2673 * Add doc/package-hooks.txt: Document per-package hooks, ship in package
2674 apport.
2675 * Add debian/apport.dirs: Ship package-hooks/ directory.
2676 * gtk/apport-gtk, qt4/apport-qt: Fix detection of binary data so that the
2677 CoreDump is not displayed as incomprehensible gibberish any more.
2678 * Add qt4/apport-qt.desktop.in and add it to POTFILES.in.
2679 * bin/apport-retrace: --verbose can now be specified multiple times to
2680 increase verbosity and debug package installation. Also, fix some quoting
2681 bugs. Thanks to Kees Cook for this!
2682 * qt4/apport-qt: Fix restart button handling. (LP: #84202)
2683 * qt4/apport-qt: Do not try to call splitlines() on a report value that is a
2684 file reference; just display the reference instead. (LP: #84196)
2685 * bin/apport: Disable for now, since the current kernel produces cropped
2686 core dumps and thus we get totally useless crash reports

2693
2694 * Added qt4/: Qt4 implementation of the abstract user interface. Thanks to
2695 Michael Hofmann <mh21@piware.de> for that!
2696 * debian/copyright: Add Michael as copyright holder.
2697 * setup.py, debian/control, debian/apport-qt.install: Packaging bits for
2698 apport-qt.
2699 * Move translations from apport-gtk to apport, since they are shared between
2700 frontends. Add appropriate Conflicts/Replaces (we don't strictly need it
2701 here because we strip them anyway, but we need that for the moving icon
2702 anyway).
2703 * Move icon from apport-gtk to apport, since it is/can be shared between
2704 frontends.
2705
2706 Improvements:
2707
2708 * Replaced old apport.png icon stolen from bug-buddy with nice SVG one.
2709 Thanks to Troy Sobotka for this!
2710 * debian/copyright: Add Troy as copyright holder for the icon.
2711 * bin/apport-retrace, man/apport-retrace.1: Document that report can now be
2712 a LP bug number.

2721 file path). Add appropriate p-l-b dependency.

2736 ksmserver/gnome-session to decide whether to prefer kfmclient or

2748 * apport/ui.py: Add support for reporting ProblemType: Kernel reports, and
2749 add test suite for the workflow.
