So when OOo crashes, what are the strategies that distros
employ here if
any ?
For RH we don't build the crashreporter (as it's basically
unusable info
for Sun), but we do configure to enable using it, and
replace it in the
install set with a simple replacement that tests for the set
of common
problems that historically caused crashes, e.g. nvidia
drivers, a11y
enabled, selinux settings and insane local library
butchering, and
prompts the unfortunate user to log the supplied text to the
RH
bugzilla, and we map the stack back to source with
h
ttp://people.redhat.com/caolanm/ooocvs/ooomapstack after
throwing out
the nvidia driver using reports
At some stage in the past the ooobuild OOo would spawn off
the gnome
gnome bug-buddy, but that's no longer the case is it ?
So do other distros have various solutions here, or just
simply crash
out and/or dump core ?
What I'm thinking about aiming at is a shared cross-distro
crash
repository where we can auto submit the distro OOo crashes,
and the
distros can plug in their various stack mappers, with quick
and dirty
gnomebugzilla-alike tooling to merge the duped backtraces
together.
