Description of problem: Retrace Server can't process RHEL5-based userspace cores as buildids are not tracked as in RHEL6+. What would be useful would be to include a file (say 'packagelist') within the tarball that contains the coredump and other files which has a new-line separated list of packages from the originating machine (collected manually). Some considerations: The format would likely need to be something like: %{name}-%{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}.%{arch} While this would mainly only be useful for RHEL5, it may provide useful for other versions of RHEL (I believe there are some tricky ways of loading libraries that gdb/et al may not detect). We'd need to make sure that mock can understand that if it can't find a particular package that it should continue/ignore the error, as they are likely third-party and unrelated to the core.
