You can have a look at it here : http://crashdc.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/crashdc/trunk/and Most of the work happens in /usr/bin/crashdc and the run-crashdc-{distro}.sh scripts. It does indeed means crash data collector. It basically is a set of shell script that send a set of predefined commands to the crash utility and gather the result in a text file that can be easily sent over email. In one implementation, it makes use of the KDUMP_POST mechanism to run. Another way to use it is through an init script upon reboot. As for merging it with makedumpfile, it could be an interesting choice. But that might add requirements to makedumpfile that you might not want to have (dependencies on crash & the kernel-debuginfo packages which are needed). I have recently changed jobs, so I had to suspend my work on crashdc a bit. I'm hoping to find time to work on it and adapt it to debian based distro in the near future.
