Hello Ubuntu developers and bug triagers, Apport has supported hooks to collect package specific information for crash reports and bug reports submitted through Apport [1] for a long time.
A long standing request [2] was to provide a tool which provides the same functionality for already existing bugs. I. e. if a submitter reported a bug against xorg directly through the Launchpad UI, you can now ask him to run apport-collect 12345 (with 12345 being the bug number, obviously). This will check all source packages in the bug tasks, run all their apport hooks, and upload the collected information back to the bug report. It uses launchpadlib for authentication. The tool has a manpage, and I also added it to [3]. Enjoy, and please let me know about any problems by filing bugs against apport. Thank you, Martin [1] with ubuntu-bug or Help -> Report a Bug for GNOME applications [2] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/124338 [3] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport#Tools -- Martin Pitt | http://www.piware.de Ubuntu Developer (www.ubuntu.com) | Debian Developer (www.debian.org)
