How many of these bugs have "abrt" in the subject?
For Python's NEW bugs its about 2/3rds of them.
abrt consistently gets the component wrong for Python bugs; initially
any time a Python script segfaulted (thus crashing /usr/bin/python) abrt
assigned the component as python. For a while this was fixed, and it
filed the component as whatever the bottom of the stack was. But it
regressed a while back.
- Sorry to hear that, I can't find a bz ticket for this issue, so that
might be reason why it's not fixed yet, so I created one in our
upstream:
https://github.com/abrt/abrt/issues/609 and started working on
it (new update should be out asap)
I have a script that automates some of the workload of reassigning
the
component back to where the bug really is, but it currently requires
some manual intervention:
http://fedorapeople.org/cgit/dmalcolm/public_git/triage.git
so inevitably I don't run it on every bug that comes in every day, and
so I gradually get behind.
Of course, architecturally, this is completely bogus - it's insane for
bugs to be filed in bugzilla for segfaults and for me to be running a
script when I get emails in my inbox to try to triage them.
What we really should be doing is have abrt report crashes to a
dedicated crash-reporting db (I believe the retrace server is this), and
the crash-reporting db should load the coredump with the right debuginfo
packages, and triage accordingly.
In particular, I think the right way for retrace server to triage is to
run Python code embedded within gdb. There are a ton of little
heuristics about such code:
http://fedorapeople.org/cgit/dmalcolm/public_git/triage.git/tree/rules.py
that need to run server-side. In particular, for scripting languages,
it's most useful to be able to extract the script-level backtrace from
the C-level stack (i.e. "what was the Python code doing?")
http://fedorapeople.org/cgit/dmalcolm/public_git/triage.git/tree/backtrac...
has some smarts for doing this purely from a textual backtrace from gdb,
but running code like this directly within gdb on the retrace server
would likely get better results.
- sure thing that's exactly what is the "ABRT server" (aka faf) meant for
- please check your inbox I sent you email (a month ago) about
integration of those scripts to the server-side analysis and we can
start working on it
