Hi! I'm going to replace the report library with the new libreport. Today I plan to replace it in rawhide and if it goes smoothly I'd like to replace it in F15 as well.
Hasn't this already reached F15? Have you readded the GTKIO stuff?
pros:
- libreport is written in C (report is in python), so it's easier to
write bindings for other languages
- it's API compatible with report (it has python bindings)
- it shares configuration with ABRT, so users just need to write their
credentials and defaults only once
- shares the UI with ABRT (the reporting wizard), so users are presented
with the same UI despite of from where they are reporting a problem
cons:
- it has a bit different UI
- account information (e.g: bz loging+password) is forgotten and needs
to be entered again
Why? Is it remembered within the session? Can't it save the bugzilla info within the gnome-keyring?
- some minor breakage expected (hopefully not...)
affected packages (according to repoquery):
- report + subpackages (being obsoleted)
- python-meh
- anaconda
- anaconda-0:15.31-1.fc15.x86_64
- firstboot-0:1.119-1.fc15.x86_64
- system-config-kickstart-0:2.8.7-2.fc15.noarch
- setroubleshoot
As I said, libreport should be API compatible with report, so no changes should needed, but of course can't be 100% sure if it's bugfree ;)
Do we have to do anything to our packages to make this work?
