I know the crash reporter was disabled sometime before March, 2012.
But can someone provide the commit message on this?
As far as I know there was no explicit commit for this. Enabling or
disabling the crash reporter was a configuration option
(--enable-crashdump) that is still available today.
For AOO releases the crashdump feature AFAIK never was enabled.
The module implementing the crashdump feature is also still available
today (main/crashrep), but it mentions e.g. "so-rep...@sun.com" as the
target address for crash reports. That mail address went dead a couple
of years ago though.
If someone wanted to re-establish the crashdump feature
- the module main/crashrep would have to be revitalized
- our releases would have to enable this configuration option
And either the server-infrastructure to accept and analyze incoming
reports would have to be implemented from scratch as the related code
was AFAIK not open-sourced
or the reports would have to be presented directly to the user via a
nice UI. But for this good symbols would have to be available, which
means, that the released libraries mustn't be stripped of these symbols
and the unwind details. This would blow up size of our release artifacts
considerably though.
And, if it was part of wither the 3.4.1 offering or 4.0, I would like to
add this removal to the release notes as we continue to get questions
about it.
It wasn't even enabled in our first published artifact (AOO 3.4.0-Beta).
Unfortunately, information about this was just recently removed from the
Help files, so miscommunication *for a while*.
Thanks to all who fixed this problem in the help files!
