apport package hook for network-manager

It might also be useful to add:

'Gconf' : ['gconftool-2','-R','/system/networking']

to attach_commands.

Thanks. This is much appreciated.

1. I think the gconf output would be indeed worthwhile.
2. On top we might want the hal output for capabilities "modem" or "serial" which should catch most 3g devices.
3. Syslog could also contain "kernel:" output messages on top.
4. Also /var/log/wpasupplicant.log might be interesting to see (though given that it doesnt log timestamps - ouch - might not be as helpful as it could be).

Since we are on bzr, feel free to submit a bzr branch and request a merge through launchpad (which gets far higher prio in my mailbox). The development branch is:

 https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~network-manager/network-manager/ubuntu.0.7

If you want to implement the above, let me know. Otherwise, I'll take over from here.

(milestoning to ensure that this gets into the archive on next push.)

I've published a branch at https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~mdz/network-manager/ubuntu.0.7 which includes #1, #3 and #4 (since they were easy).

#2 I added as a TODO in the script.

This bug was fixed in the package network-manager - 0.7~~svn20080908t183521+eni0-0ubuntu1

  * new upstream snapshot (Mon 2008-09-08 18:35:21 rev3504)
  * merge improved ifupdown system config implementation from main.eni branch;
    Mon 2008-09-08 20:47:20 +0200; rev 2828
  * Fix LP: #255839 - "0.7 N-M "system setting" does not work"; we create the
    /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ directory during package install now
    - update debian/network-manager.dirs
  * adjust patch due to changed ifupdown plugin source dir
    - update debian/patches/50_gcc43.patch
  * fix LP: #256480 - "network-manager 0.7 breaks resolvconf integration"; we
    pass --with-resolvconf=/sbin/resolvconf to configure.
    - update debian/rules
  * (proposed) fix LP: #259503 - "crashes when unplugging device (or unloading
    module)" - crash caused by idle handler accessing already freed device.
    We fix that for wireless and ethernet, which both were affected by
    properly refcounting the device gobjects.
    - add debian/patches/80_lp259503_access_to_freed_device_struct.patch
    - update debian/patches/series
  * drop ifupdown from Depends: - there is no sense to depend on replacements
    - update debian/control
  * drop patch applied upstream
    - delete debian/patches/05-debian_backend.patch
    - update debian/patches/series
  * Fix LP: #261688 - NetworkManager build dependency for "libdbus-glib-1-dev
    (>= 0.60)" incorrect; we adjust the version to >= 0.74.
    - update debian/control
  * bump shlibs requirements for libnm-util0 and libnm-glib0 packages to >=
    0.7~~svn20080908
    - update debian/rules
  * Fix - Networkmanager doesn't update resolv.conf when resolvconf is
    installed, but /etc/resolv.conf isnt a link; we fix that by honouring
    the resolvconf exit code and fall back to "normal" named behaviour in case
    it fails. This requires a resolvconf update which currently doesnt return
    a non-zero exit code when it fails in such a way.
    - add debian/patches/honour_resolvconf_exitcode.patch
    - update debian/patche/series

  [ Matt Zimmerman <email address hidden> ]
  * Add apport package hook (LP: #258552)
    - add debian/network-manager.links
    - add debian/source_network-manager.py
    - update debian/network-manager.install
