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
