Now bug-buddy installs a seghandler as a GTK_MODULE. When a crash happens, if debug symbols are present, we do it in the old way: bug-buddy invokes gdb and gets a backtrace and send it to bugzilla.gnome.org. If no debug symbols are present, the handler dumps a minidump file of the process and invokes bug-buddy, which sends it to a debug server. This debug server is currently under developent, but then plan is to have a reference codebase (based on mozilla socorro) from which distros can build their own debug server and feed it with their debuginfo packages. We, as GNOME upstream, probably are going to offer a debug server for those distros without the resources to set up their own. How to forward a crash from the debug server to the upstream bugzilla is not clear 100% yet.
