[ Brad Figg ]
* The kernel team has decided that asking the user for a bunch of
information which they may not be able to answer is the wrong thing to do.
Therefore, all the propmpting of the user for said information has been
removed. Also removed is the tagging of "needs-upstream-testing".
[ Martin Pitt ]
* Merge bug fixes from trunk:
- apport-gtk: HTML-escape text for dialogs with URLs. (LP: #750870)
- dump_acpi_tables.py: Check to see if acpi/tables dir is mounted first.
Thanks Brian Murray. (LP: #729622)

apport (1.20.1-0ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low
* New upstream bug fix release:
- Add bash completion support for new -w/--window option that was
introduced in 1.20. Thanks Philip Muškovac.
- apport-unpack: Fix crash if target directory already exists.
- Fix crash if UnreportableReason is a non-ASCII string. (LP: #738632)
- Fix crash if application from desktop name is a non-ASCII string.
(LP: #737799)
- unkillable_shutdown: Fix rare crash if ExecutablePath does not exist
(any more). (LP: #537904)
- kernel_crashdump: Fix crash if the vmcore file disappeared underneath
us. (LP: #450295)
- unkillable_shutdown: Fix crash if the checked process terminated
underneath us. (LP: #540436)
- ui.py: Properly raise exceptions from the upload thread that happen at
its very end. (LP: #469943)
* data/package-hooks/source_ubiquity.py: Read root-only accessible log files

apport (1.20-0ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low
* New upstream release. Changes since our previous snapshot:
- Add support for -w/--window option which will enable user to select a
window as a target for filing a problem report. Thanks Abhinav Upadhyay.
(LP: #357847)
- Disable the filtering on SIGABRT without assertion messages. Turns out
that developers want these crash reports after all. (LP: #729223)
- Add support for a "DuplicateSignature" report fields. This allows
package hooks to implement custom duplicate problem handling which
doesn't need to be hardcoded in Apport itself. Update the launchpad
backend to tag such bugs as "need-duplicate-check".
- hookutils.py Update WifiSyslog regex to correctly catch application log
messages in syslog. Thanks Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre. (LP: #732917)
- hookutils.py, attach_hardware(): Avoid error message if machine does not
have a PCI bus. Thanks Marcin Juszkiewicz. (LP: #608449)
- backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Replace deprecated getChanges() call
with get_changes().
- apport-gtk: Fix broken dialog heading if the name of the crashed program
contains an & or other markup specific characters.
- apport-gtk: Don't crash if GTK cannot be initialized. This usually
happens without a $DISPLAY or when the session is being shut down. Just
print an error message. If there are pending crashes, they will be shown
again the next time a session starts. (LP: #730569)
* debian/local/apport-chroot: In retracing mode, fix the passed --auth and
--duplicate-db arguments to be paths within the fakechroot.
* debian/local/apport-chroot: Apply the same absolute path fix to retracing
mode that we already applied to login mode in 1.19-0ubuntu1.

apport (1.19-0ubuntu3) natty; urgency=low
* Merge fixes from trunk:
- apport-retrace: Intercept SystemErrors from ill-formed gzip attachments
as well.
- Fix crash if crash database configuration does not specify a
bug_pattern_url. Just assume None. (LP: #731526)
- If a custom crash database does not specify a bug_pattern_url, fall back
to using the default database's. (LP: #731526)

apport (1.19-0ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low
[ Martin Pitt ]
* New upstream release:
- apt backend: Do not generate a warning if the opportunistically added -dbg
package does not exist.
- apt backend: Only add -dbg in --no-pkg mode, as there will be conflicts in
normal package mode.
- apt backend: Call tar with target cwd instead of using -C; the latter causes
an extra openat() call which breaks with current fakechroot.
- launchpad.py: Fix retracer crash if DistroRelease field does not exist.
- Convert deprecated failIf()/assert_() TestCase method calls to
assertFalse()/assertTrue().
- In apport-bug, if the user specifies a PID referring to a kernel thread,
do the right thing and file the bug against the kernel
- In hookutils.attach_dmesg, skip over an initial truncated message if one
is present (this happens when the ring buffer overflows)
- Change bug patterns to just use one central file instead of per-package
files. This allows bug patterns to be written which are not package
specific, and is easier to maintain as well. IMPORTANT: This changed the
format of crashdb.conf: bug_pattern_base is now obsolete, and the new
attribute bug_pattern_url now points to the full URL/path of the patterns
file. Thanks to Matt Zimmerman!
* debian/local/setup-apport-retracer: Drop local installation of packages,
we now just check that they are installed in the system.
* debian/local/apport-chroot: Convert --auth argument to absolute path, as
fakechroot needs that.
[ Steve Langasek ]
* data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: don't collect bug reports on missing
menu.lst - this is a user error that they need to fix up on their side.
(LP: #668888)
[ Matt Zimmerman ]
* data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: Add UpgradeStatus field to show if the
system was upgraded from a previous release (and when)
* debian/apport.install: actually install the java_uncaught_exception script

StacktraceTop.

apport (1.18-0ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low
[ Martin Pitt ]
* New upstream release:
- Ensure that symptom scripts define a run() function, and don't show them
if not.
- Do not show symptom scripts which start with an underscore. These can be
used for private libraries for the actual symptom scripts.
- Update bash completion. Thanks Philip Muškovac.
- etc/default/apport: Remove obsolete "maxsize" setting. (LP: #719564)
- Remove explicit handling of KDE *.ui files in setup.py, as
python-distutils-extra 2.24 fixes this. Bump version check.
- hookutils.py: Add attach_root_command_outputs() to run several commands
at once. This avoids asking for the password several times.
(LP: #716595)
* debian/apport.postinst: Add missing debhelper token.
* debian/rules: Drop dump_acpi_tables.py chmod workaround, it's upstream now
and has the proper permissions.
* Add etc/apport/blacklist.d/apport and drop the creation of it in
/debian/rules. This is easier to maintain and more obvious. Also move
README.blacklist from python-apport to apport, it fits better there.
* etc/apport/blacklist.d/apport: Add the binaries of nspluginwrapper, as we
can't do anything about them anyway. (LP: #717468)
[ Brian Murray ]
* data/package-hooks/source_linux.py: Properly set regression-release tag if

- Be more Python 3 compatible (not fully working with Python 3 yet,
though).
- apt/dpkg backend: Drop support for pre-0.7.9 python-apt API.
- Add --tag option to add extra tags to reports. (LP: #572504)
- hookutils.py, attach_dmesg(): Do not overwrite already existing dmesg.
- hookutils.py: Be more robust against file permission errors.
(LP: #444678)
- ui.py: Do not show all the options in --help when invoked as *-bug.
(LP: #665953)
- launchpad.py: Adapt test cases to current standard_title() behaviour.
* debian/control: Bump python-apt dependency to >= 0.7.9 to ensure that we
have the current API. Trunk dropped support for the old API.
* data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: Ignore obsolete packages when filing bugs
against update-manager. (LP: #397519)
* data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: Do not file a package install failure if
DpkgTerminalLog doesn't have any data. (LP: #695887)
* Add debian/apport.postinst: Create /var/crash. This directory is required
for package failures even if apport is disabled and thus the upstart job
does not run. (LP: #683367)

* data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: Trim DpkgTerminaLog to the most recent
install session; not only is this much easier to read, but it also avoids
confusing the tests further down which check for particular strings in the
log. (LP: #580419)

requirement.
* gtk/apport-gtk: Force GTK 2 for now, as we do not currently have a real
GTK 3 theme, and thus with GTK 3 the application looks very ugly.

(LP: #681574)
- Add handler for uncaught Java exceptions. There is no integration for
automatically intercepting all Java crashes yet, see java/README.
Thanks Matt Zimmerman! (LP: #548877)
- GTK frontend: Require GTK 3.0.
- launchpad.py: Default to "production" instance, not "edge", since edge
is obsolete now.
- hookutils.py, attach_alsa(): Fix crash if /proc/asound/cards does not
exist. (LP: #626215)
- ui.py, format_filesize(): Fix to work with stricter locale.format() in
Python 2.7. (LP: #688535). While we are at it, also change it to use
base-10 units.
- hookutils.py, package_versions(): Always include all requested package
names even if they're unknown to us. Thanks Matt Zimmerman!

apport (1.15-0ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low
[ Martin Pitt ]
* New upstream release. Changes since to our previous trunk snapshot:
- Order symptom descriptions alphabetically. Thanks to Javier Collado.
- Check $APPORT_SYMPTOMS_DIR environment variable for overriding the
system default path. Thanks to Javier Collado.
- testsuite: Check that crashdb.conf can have dynamic code to determine DB
names and options.
- ui.py test suite: Rewrite _gen_test_crash() to have the test process
core dump itself, instead of using gdb to do it. The latter fails in
ptrace restricted environments, such as Ubuntu 10.10.
- launchpad.py: Use launchpadlib to file a bug instead of screen scraping.
The latter was completely broken with current Launchpad, so this makes
the test suite actually work again. Thanks to Diogo Matsubara!
- launchpad.py: Change $APPORT_STAGING to $APPORT_LAUNCHPAD_INSTANCE, so
that you can now specify "staging", "edge", or "dev" (for a local
http://launchpad.dev installation). Thanks to Diogo Matsubara!
- backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Fix crash on empty lines in ProcMaps
attachment.
- doc/symptoms.txt: Fix typo, thanks Philip Muskovac. (LP: #590521)
- apport/hookutils.py: rename ProcCmdLine to ProcKernelCmdLine to not wipe
wipe out /proc/$pid/cmdline information. (LP: #657091)
- apport/hookutils.py: attach_file() will not overwrite existing report
keys, instead appending "_" until the key is unique.
- Fix --save option to recognise ~, thanks Philip Muškovac. (LP: #657278)
- Remove escalation_subscription from Ubuntu bug DB definition, turned out
to not be useful; thanks Brian Murray.
- launchpad.py: Fix APPORT_LAUNCHPAD_INSTANCE values with a https://
prefix.
- apt backend: Opportunistically try to install a -dbg package in addition
to -dbgsym, to increase the chance that at least one of it exists.
Thanks Daniel J Blueman!
* debian/control: Switch Vcs-Bzr: to natty branch.
[ Brian Murray ]
* data/package-hooks/source_linux.py: Drop regression-potential tag. We are
moving away from using regression-potential as a tag in the management of
regression bug reports. Instead we will tag bugs regression-release and
then create series, release, tasks for the release affected if the bug is
in fact a regression.
