I asked, through private mail, and after we discussed this face-to-face: " Could you please send me a piece of code that would: - monitor the journal for new coredumps - gather information about the crashed binary (abrt collects things like envvars and more that allows us to determine which application or component crashed, whether it's packaged or not, etc.) - gather information about kernel oopses/lockdep warnings - store additional metadata about the report, if journald can support that (whether it was reported and where for example) " > > It doesn't claim to be usable for end-users reporting bugs, and the > > original > > developers have no interest in making changes that would allow that. > > I indeed think coredumpctl should probably be something for more > professional users. But I'd be curious what you are missing in > coredumpctl. Some help implementing one of: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82507 So that we can eventually move that down a level from ABRT. To be fair, I misrepresented the discussion, I was actually told it would be too much work, and that you didn't have the manpower. _______________________________________________ desktop mailing list -- desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to desktop-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
