Bug ID: 386003
Summary: Don't submit crash reports that lack debug symbols for
the crashing stack frame
Product: drkonqi
Version: 5.11.1
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: backtraceparsing
Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org
Reporter: pointedst...@zoho.com
Target Milestone: ---
Drkonqi is pretty good at analyzing backtraces to determine whether they're
useful or not. Yet still, we get crash reports with useless backtraces with no
symbols for the problematic stack frame, especially in Arch and Arch-based
distros.
These crash reports just aren't useful and add to the burden of screening bugs,
decreasing the signal-to-noise ratio. This contributes to actionable bugs
getting missed or neglected because bug screening resources are VERY
scarce--nobody particularly enjoys screening bugs, except for a few weirdos
like Christoph and me. :)
It would help if we could make drkonqi a bit pickier here, both to ease bug the
screening burden, and also to encourage users to install and distros to provide
debug packages.
