apport (0.73) feisty; urgency=low . * problem_report.py, write(): Allow a third optional argument in tuple values, which specify a maximum file size. Above it, the entire key gets removed. Add testsuite checks for all boundary cases. * bin/apport: Limit core dump size to 75% of usable RAM (MemFree+Cached-Writeback). This should avoid trashing people's boxes hard on huge core dumps. Bump dependencies on python-problem-report. Create an expensive, but realistic check for this in test-apport. (LP: #71560) * apport/ui.py, run_crash(): If a signal crash report does not have a core dump, explain that the computer has too little memory for an automatic analysis/report of the crash. Add test suite check.
