I've backported the powerpc hook from wily to trusty and uploaded a new
version of apport to trusty-proposed for the SRU team to review.
** Description changed:
+ TEST CASE
+ ---------
+ Verify that /usr/share/apport/general-hooks/powerpc.py exists after
installing the version of the package from -proposed.
+
+ For bonus points run apport-cli on a powerpc system and verify that the
+ report contains information in the apport hook.
+
+ REGRESSION POTENTIAL
+ --------------------
+ We are just adding in a new general hook to apport that only runs on systems
with an arch of ppc64 or ppc64le so there is little chance of regression.
+
On power/ppc64el system, we would need to enhance current apport reporting
tool which some information like file content or commands output including
- "/proc/device-tree/"
- "/proc/loadavg"
- "/proc/locks"
- "/proc/misc"
- "/proc/swaps"
- "/proc/version"
- "/dev/nvram"
- "/var/log/platform"
- "ppc64_cpu --smt"
- "ppc64_cpu --cores-present"
- "ppc64_cpu --cores-on"
- "ppc64_cpu --run-mode"
- "ppc64_cpu --frequency"
- "ppc64_cpu --dscr"
+ "/proc/device-tree/"
+ "/proc/loadavg"
+ "/proc/locks"
+ "/proc/misc"
+ "/proc/swaps"
+ "/proc/version"
+ "/dev/nvram"
+ "/var/log/platform"
+ "ppc64_cpu --smt"
+ "ppc64_cpu --cores-present"
+ "ppc64_cpu --cores-on"
+ "ppc64_cpu --run-mode"
+ "ppc64_cpu --frequency"
+ "ppc64_cpu --dscr"
Readme says : For complete instructions, see
/usr/share/doc/apport/package-hooks.txt but
cat: /usr/share/doc/apport/package-hooks.txt: No such file or directory
Do I understand correctly I would need to create a file (for example)
named : /usr/share/apport/general-hooks/power.py ?
Other questions:
Do you have common functions to put output of commands in logfile ?
do you have common functions to copy config file tree content to log file or
should I create the list of file and copy content of each file to the logfile ?
