Description Josh Boyer 2011-11-22 20:02:47 UTC

Description of problem:

In previous versions of libreport, a kernel backtrace was included in the initial comment on a bug.  This made it very easy to quickly glance at an issue via bugzilla email.  In recent versions of libreport, the backtrace is attached as a file in the bug instead.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

libreport-2.0.7-1.fc16

How reproducible:

Seemingly always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Panic your kernel (or something else to cause a backtrace)
2. Submit the abrt report
3. Look at the bug where it attached the backtrace as a file
  
Actual results:

Backtrace as file

Expected results:

Backtrace in comment

Additional info:

You can see examples of the behavior difference I'm talking about in these two bugs:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=752790
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=755943

Could we please go back to including it in a comment to make triage easier and bug email useful?

Comment 1 Jiri Moskovcak 2011-11-24 09:31:11 UTC

Well, there are 2 groups of people first doesn't like it as a attachment and second doesn't like it inline... if you feel the inline attachments are better, please add a comment to: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=712602 to support this case. The current abrt adds the backtrace inline if it's < 2kb - maybe we can tweak this threshold to make both groups happy..
