Goal

Streamline the process of collecting data for common end-user problems, so that they can be prioritized and addressed

Requirements

  • When a program crashes, send a report (with an absolute minimum of user interaction)
  • Extract and store debug symbols from standard builds, and store them in a centralized repository for use in analyzing these reports
  • When a package installation, removal or upgrade fails, send a report (with an absolute minimum of user interaction)
  • When a kernel panic/oops/etc. occurs, send a report (with an absolute minimum of user interaction)

  • [http://www.cs.wisc.edu/cbi/ Cooperative bug isolation]?

Agenda

  • What data needs to be submitted?
    • core dump
    • identifying information for all code involved (package versions? filenames? md5sums?)
  • How should the debug symbol extraction work?
  • Automated bug reporting to Malone
