Merge lp:~diwic/apport/trunk into lp:~apport-hackers/apport/trunk

[Marco Rodrigues]

[David Henningsson (diwic)]

This branch should merge into the Karmic branch; not the upstream one. It contains things that should not be applied to Lucid.

review: Disapprove

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

The sl-modem check needs to go into the alsa-libs/pulseaudio/etc. package hooks. I do not want to hardcode particular package names in apport itself.

The kernel version check should go into /usr/share/apport/general-hooks/ubuntu.py. I don't think that all cases of those can be explained by a grub failure, you might simply have booted an older one, installed a custom kernel, or one from our "upstream daily builds" ones?

I thought this was ok, since the same thing is done in hookutils.py at another place (when checking versions of printing packages, approx line 453)

Hmm. It seems like there is already a check there for grub failing to update there.
I admit the idea was a bit hackerish but the packages calling attach_alsa are mainly linux, alsa-driver and pulseaudio, so it roughly corresponds to what packages should complain about the wrong kernel version.

+      options, determine the most likely mode, like reporting a bug against a

+    - 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

+      rid of all the logging, daemonizing, and looping code.
+    - Adapt stdout/stderr reporting to be suitable for cron and
+      redirecting stdout to a log file.
+    - Use lock files to avoid overlapping instances and avoid damaging
+      bugs with broken retracers after crash-digger failed.
+    - Handle chroot upgrading, so that this does not need separate
+      cronjobs any more.
+    - Drop old -i option, replace with -D/--dupcheck which is a mode
+      which *only* checks duplicates of Python crashes (no fakechroot
+      handling).
+    - Mark bug as retraced after apport-chroot retrace finished
+      successfully; the process is robust enough now to avoid enless
+      loops even if retracing fails.
+    - Adapt test-crash-digger accordingly.

+
+  Implement private crash bug handling, according to
+  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CrashReporting:
+
+  * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py:
+    - upload(): If we have an Ubuntu bug, mark it as private and only
+      subscribe 'apport' (the 'Apport retracing service' user).
+    - Add function _subscribe_triaging_team() which subscribes
+      ubuntu-crashes-main for source packages in Ubuntu main or restricted, or
+      ubuntu-crashes-universe for other packages. It does not touch non-Ubuntu
+      bugs, since these are not marked private by default and are outside of
+      the scope of this spec.
+    - update(), _mark_dup_checked(): Call _subscribe_triaging_team().
+    - Note: This entire spec is a gross hack, and Ubuntu derivatives do not
+      benefit from it at all. We have to live with this until LP grows a real
+      crash database.
+    - get_distro_release(): Make this function work with private bugs, too, by
+      using p-lp-bugs' safe_urlopen().
+
+  Bug fixes:
+
+  * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Revert simplification change of 0.85:
+    BugList returns a set of strings, not integers; due to non-identity they
+    do not work with the usual set operations.
+  * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Add function get_source_component() to
+    query Launchpad for the component of a given distribution and source
+    package. (This will be required for implementing crash-reporting).
+  * backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py, _search_contents(): Package list is
+    actually comma separated, only take the first item. This fixes retracing
+    of e. g. #124139.
+  * backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py, _search_contents(): Fix package name
+    parsing for non-main components. This fixes retracing of e. g. #124111.
+  * apport/report.py, _read_maps(): Revert ptrace hack when maps cannot be
+    read. maps file is now protected based on process ownership, not ptracing.
+  * apport/crashdb.py, apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py,
+    apport/crashdb_impl/memory.py: Remove official interface
+    mark_dup_checked(), as it should only be an internally used function. Add
+    report parameter, since we will need it there in the future. Remove
+    explicit call from bin/crash-digger and instead change check_duplicate()
+    to call it on its own.
+  * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py, download(): Replace dodgy parsing of
+    fields from the description with proper code, so that multi-line fields
+    are read correctly, too.

+    when called with -m1.
+  * bin/crash-digger: Mark a bug as retraced if DistroRelease: cannot be
+    determined. Those are bugs apport cannot handle.
+  * backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py, get_source_tree(): Call apt-get source

+  * bin/apport-retrace: If retraced report does not have a crash signature,
+    mark it as failed with above new function. Bump python-apport dependency

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

+      more).
+  * run-tests, use-local: Adapt to new core_pattern kernel interface.
+  * apport: Improve logging of exceptions, include environment variables.

+    for uploading file attachments to forms over HTTP POST. This module is
+    (C) 2006 Will Holcomb <[e-mail]> and was taken from
+    http://odin.himinbi.org/MultipartPostHandler.py. (This is a serious hole
+    of the Python standard library IMHO.)
+  * apport/ui.py, file_report(): Upload blob to Malone (edge.launchpad.net for
+    now), retrieve the ticket, and pass it to +filebug.
+
+  Refactorizations:
+
+  * gtk/apport-gtk: Major refactorization to use modal dialogs and run()
+    instead of loosely coupled event handlers.
+  * Add apport/ui.py: Abstract frontend which encapsulates the logic, workflow
+    and UI independent bits and provides UI hooks for concrete
+    implementations. This both makes it easy to write more frontends like Qt
+    or CLI, and also makes the code automatically testable. Add an extensive
+    testsuite.
+  * run-tests: Add ui.py testsuite.
+  * gtk/apport-gtk: Port to ui.py's UserInterface (which means moving 1/3 of
+    the code into the new ui_*() methods and throwing away the rest).
+  * Add apport/REThread.py: Enhanced threading.Thread class that can propagate
+    the return value and uncaught exceptions of run() to the calling thread.
+  * apport/ui.py: Get rid of thread_check_bugpatterns() and hackish exception
+    handling, rewrite using REThread.
+  * apport/ui.py, gtk/apport-gtk: Add progress bar to report upload. It is
+    indefinite for now, because neither urllib2 nor httplib support upload
+    progress.

+  * Merge patch from Sebastian Heinlein to properly treat the apport-gtk icon
+    the dh_iconcache way and make it themeable. Thank you!
+  * gtk/apport-gtk: Remove periods from primary dialog texts to comply with
+    Gnome HIG standards.
+  * backends/packaging-dpkg.py, get_file_package(): Process list files in
+    chunks of 100, so that we do not exceed the maximum command line length if
+    there is a large number of packages installed. Closes: LP#64839
+  * gtk/apport-gtk: Use pgrep with -u instead of pidof for testing whether the
+    crashed process is already running again, so that we do not match
+    processes of other users. Add procps package dependency for this.
+  * gtk/apport-gtk: Only offer to restart programs that are in the $PATH. E.
+    g. /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin cannot be called directly.
+    Closes: LP#79623
+  * apport/report.py: Disassemble 16 instructions instead of 32 bytes to
+    become independent of the instruction size. Thanks to Kees Cook for the

+  Optimizations:
+
+  * apport/fileutils.py: Split out heuristics for determining whether a file
+    belongs to a package to new function likely_packaged() and add test cases.
+  * bin/apport: Do not use the expensive find_file_package() any more, use
+    likely_packaged() instead. This will create initial reports in some
+    corner cases (like custom non-packaged executables in /usr/bin/), but
+    greatly reduces I/O impact at crash time. We rely on apport-gtk to deal
+    with reports that do not actually belong to a packaged executable.
+  * apport/report.py, add_gdb_info(): Call gdb just once and split the output
+    instead of calling it again for each command. This should significantly
+    speed up the gdb stage especially for large programs/core dumps.
+  * Use cStringIO instead of StringIO in modules.
+  * gtk/apport-gtk: Code cleanup and refactorization:
+    - Move iteration over crash reports into __main__ to simplify housekeeping
+      in the ApportGTK class and get rid of some functions.
+    - Refactor creation of temporary report file.
+  * gtk/apport-gtk.glade: Split the text in the progress bar dialog so that we
+    can use it for multiple steps (like uploading data to Malone) while not
+    breaking translations.
+
+  New feature: Bug reporting tool (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugReportingTool)
+
+  * gtk/apport-gtk: Split out crash report initialization to new function
+    show_crashes() so that we can use the frontend for other purposes like bug
+    reporting.
+  * gtk/apport-gtk: Add --file-bug, --package, and --pid options; if given,
+    create a bug report about the given package instead of viewing crash
+    reports.
+  * gtk/apport-gtk{,.glade}: Generalize some strings to not talk about 'crash'
+    any more, to make them suitable for bug reporting, too.
+  * gtk/apport-gtk: Support --file-bug without specifying a package or a PID
+    for filing generic distro bugs.
+  * problem_report.py: Add new method write_mime() to encode a problem report
+    in MIME/Multipart RFC 2822 format (i. e. an email with attachments). Short
+    values are aggregated into the first inline text/plain part, large values,
+    binary values, and file references get gzip compressed separate
+    attachments. Also add various test cases.
+
+  Bug/crash information:
+
+  * apport/report.py, add_user_info(): Add list of system groups that the user
+    belongs to.
+  * bin/apport: Call add_user_info(), check functionality in test-apport.
+  * apport/report.py, add_gdb_info(): Add field 'StacktraceTop' with the top

+    is suitable for inline display in bug reports and automatic processing
+    (dup finders, etc).

+
+  * apport-gtk:
+    - Use pidof's -x option in the detection whether the program is already
+      running to correctly handle scripts.
+    - Do not assume the presence of the ExecutablePath key in reports, but
+      gracefully fall back to Package.
+    - If the report specifies an explicit DesktopFile, use that instead of
+      trying to figure it out.
+    - Only created reduced report and show the radio buttons if there are
+      actually removed fields.
+    - Change tooltip of 'reduced report' radio button to be more generic (do
+      not refer to the memory dump, but to 'large items', since this is what
+      apport-gtk currently does).
+    - Support new field 'BugDisplayMode: file | list (default)'. In 'file'
+      mode, display the /+filebug page instead of /+bugs and change
+      instructions accordingly.
+    - Use the ProcCmdline attibute to restart an application; correctly
+      parsing of all the desktop file is just not possible at this point.
+    - Support new field 'RespawnCommand' to use custom respawning command.
+  * problem_report.py: Add method has_removed_fields() to check whether load()
+    skipped any fields due to binary=False. Add test suite check.
+  * apport_utils.py: Fix the quoting in ProcCmdline so that it is fully shell
+    compatible.
+  * run-tests: Check if kernel crash dump helper is active, and if so, run
+    test-apport in kernel mode.
+  * problem_report.py: Support an optional second argument of file references
+    which controls whether or not the file contents will be compressed/encoded
+    (defaults to True for backwards compatibility). Add test suite checks.

+      process does not need to exist). This allows a cleaner design.
+    - Add missing close() call in init_error_log().

+      become important once we switch to master/slave processes).
+    - Clean up handling of temporary files.

+  * apport:
+    - Support an optional third command line argument which specifies the
