"mozilla-like minidumps" would bring us unusable backtraces due to other reasons such as GDB Pretty Printers support for C++ classes. For better speed of ABRT Retrace Server core files upload we should re-implement gdbserver for core files https://fedorahosted.org/pipermail/crash-catcher/2010-December/001441.html But so far I have no idea how / if / why not ABRT Retrace Server is being used, if the core files upload speed is a real concern etc. so I did not work more on thue gdbserver core files access feature for ABRT Retrace Server. > Bandwidth requirements aside there are still issues with that: > (1) works only when online. > (2) you might not want upload to the fedora server for privacy > or company policy reasons. > (3) private / company-wide retrace server needs extra effort (both > hardware and work time), you can't count on it being available. These are all valid concerns but the question is if they are relevant to 99% of users who install Mozilla binary plugins and even Adobe Flash already losing any security anyway.
