I wanted to make it known that I've created an initial snap of apport. There is still more work to be done to make it more widely useful, but I'd like to get the community's input on the status so far. For information on other work already planned for this snap see:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/snap-apport That being said, it is currently installable by using 'snap install --channel beta --devmode apport'. The snap will create barebones reports for any application (snap or package in the core system) which crashes. The reports will be stored in /var/snap/apport/current/crash. Currently, a report will need to be updated using apport-cli, included in the snap, like so: sudo apport.apport-cli /var/snap/apport/current/crash/_usr_sbin_sshd.0.crash I'm still working out some details of creating the Package field in the report, but in the example above one could add "Package: openssh-server 1:7.2p2-4ubuntu2.1" to the crash file and have a report which could be retraced from another system. At this point in time whoopsie is not integrated and the crashes will not be sent to the Error Tracker. If you install the snap I'm interested to hear any feedback and particularly about any crash reports you find in the crash directory. Thanks, -- Brian Murray
