Hey Cfengine folks I thought it would be a cool idea if we could add a flag to the various Cfengine executables that would enable bug reporting and (possibly?) automatic bug submission over https. When administrators end up with segfaulting daemons, memory leaks, etc — I think there would be a ton more bug submissions with valuable tidbits of info submitted to you guys if there was a really simple / stupid way of doing so. Have an issue? Start a daemon with the —bug-report flag and send it kill –SIGUSER1 or whatever to trigger the bug report to run.
So, start cf-serverd with a —bug-report flag or something that would record some diagnostic info about the state of the daemon either on demand with a signal, or on segfault? Automatically collect a core file / valgrind / whatever else you guys could use to diagnose issues? I think this would help the community help Cfengine by making bug submission brain dead simple. Help us help you help ourselves. =D Cheers Mike
