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.
