** Description changed:
- The goal for autoreporting via whoopsie is to have a silent mode where
whoopsie automatically reports crashes. However, this one requires apport-noui
to be installed, which we don't by default.
+ [ Impact ]
+ * The goal for autoreporting via whoopsie is to have a silent mode where
whoopsie automatically reports crashes. However, this one requires apport-noui
to be installed, which we don't by default.
apport-noui is just a set of systemd unit starting whoopsie-upload-all (part
of apport binary package).
+ We should move the unit to apport package itself.
- There is 2 possible solutions:
+ [ Test Case ]
+ * Install the new apport package from proposed
+ * Set in g-c-c, privacy panel, to report bugs automatically
+ * Make one program dumping a core dump
+ * Wait for a while, you should have a .upload and .uploaded files in addition
to the .crash one in /var/crash
+
+ [ Regression potential ]
+ The systemd units were in apport-noui previously, we moved them and made them
conditional to whoopsie being installed.
+ apport-noui is still useful by turning autoreport on, so people upgrading
shouldn't have any impact or difference.
+ The units have been renamed to make sense and avoid package files overwrite.
+
+ -------------------------
+ There are 2 possible solutions:
- promoting apport-noui to main, and seeding it.
- or considering there is no reason anymore to have a separate apport-noui
pacakge (no more phone factor), and so move the systemd units to apport, having
a conditional file on whoopsie installed (no more dependency) and autoreport
enabled, shipping those units binary package shipping those units (renamed to
apport-autoreport.*) directly.
