logpicker has been removed. |
So, anaconda has this thing called logpicker. Who knew, right?! It's utils/logpicker (and all the stuff in utils/log_picker/) in the anaconda tree. It appears to have been committed in 2010 and mostly left alone since then. Admittedly there's a lot of overlap with anaconda's GUI reporting of crashes via libreport. It would be kinda handy to use it to append logs to bugs in certain cases, though - when your bug is a dupe but the devs still want to see the logs, or when your bug is not actually a crash so libreport doesn't pick it up. However, its Bugzilla reporting functionality is broken ATM. It looks like it's built on libreport, but libreport has changed a lot since it was written, and it just doesn't work any more. log_picker/sending/__init__.py tries out each of the report functions, and if it doesn't work, basically suppresses it: try: from log_picker.sending.bugzillasender import RedHatBugzilla except (ImportError): NOT_AVAILABLE.append(RHBZ) That appears to be what happens to the RHBZ function in current anaconda; if you run just 'logpicker' it is not shown in the help output, and if you try 'logpicker --bugzilla' or 'logpicker -b' you get 'no such option'. If I try and run the test manually in a python env to see what the problem is I get roughly this: python import sys import getpass import log_picker from log_picker.sending.bugzillasender import RedHatBugzilla Traceback... File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/log_picker/sending/bugzillasender.py", line 4, in <module> from report.plugins.bugzilla import filer ImportError: No module named plugins.bugzilla Indeed, if you look in /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/report , the thing it's trying to import just doesn't appear to exist any more. I don't know libreport well enough to know what it should be doing instead, but it seems clear it ought to be doing...something else. I don't know if we want to fix this or just declare it dead and maybe enhance the libreport stuff in anaconda proper a bit, I'll leave that up to you folks.
