You have been subscribed to a public bug: Sometimes apport generates a bug report like <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/twisted/+bug/748368>. I think it sets "Affects" to "twisted (Ubuntu)" because the command line tool which started the process is /usr/bin/twistd. However, twistd is a general purpose launcher, and in the case of the above linked bug, the most specific project involved is vodafone-mobile-connect. twistd is merely launching code from that project.
This is somewhat analogous to the fact that apport files the ticket against Twisted instead of against Python, even though the actual executable running is a Python interpreter. Twisted does include some plugins which will be launched with twistd, so some twistd crashes are appropriate to file against Twisted. Any time the plugin being used is provided by some other project, though, I think the bugs should start out pointing at that other project. There are basically two ways twistd might be directed to load someone's code. One is with the -y option (same as the --python option). This takes a path and loads some code from it. The other is with a positional argument, as in "twistd web" (though `web` is a plugin provided by Twisted itself). ** Affects: apport (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Assignee: Martin Pitt (pitti) Status: Fix Committed -- apport generates bug reports against the twisted project instead of a more relevant project https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/755025 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
