Well, the first step is writting a proposal/design and get some feedback on it from people interested: GNOME bugsquad people, maybe Ubunut, etc... Main points here: - Binaries Collector thing * Should watch some configurable URLs to get binary+dbg packages from distros * Should unpack binaries and store them somewhere on the server with some md5 thing on a table identifying them * This should support at least .deb and .rpm based distributions, and should be extensible I guess this can be done in a beautiful way using Python objects. - Crash dump format * We should research on what is the best format for the client to send the crash information: full binary core? text based backtrace with mem addresses on an XML? - Crash Enricher: * Get crahses on the agreed format and matched them against binaries. Could use jailed chrooted dir + gdb to do this or maybe custom code. _______________________________________________ Gnome-bugsquad mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-bugsquad
