I agree with dropping crash.g.o but I'd rather see app like apport replacing bug-buddy. If there are no debug symbols, let the downstream handle it (in case of PLD that would mean "report a bug on Launchpad", some other distro might prefer to use Bugzilla or even send an email to some list). There are so many ways of configuring and compiling the same piece of code that a random core file without distro-specific data is next to useless. Also pushing stuff to downstream allows us to handle crashes in just any application, be it part of GNOME or not (many apps don't have an RPC-capable bug tracker). I think what we really need is not a GNOME-specific crash data collector (it's easy to do that using the kernel core_pattern pipe and we should steal that code from apport) but a gnome-packagekit-like architecture that integrates the bug reporting experience with the rest of GNOME (from saying "oops, Nautilus crashed, report?" to "request a feature in Gnumeric"). In other words: all crashes go downstream (if not resulting from local customizations, they can be easily forwarded upstream by the devs), all feature requests go upstream. -- Patryk Zawadzki _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
