Indeed so - however it is not unusual for abrt to require pulling in
several hundred megabytes of debuginfo stuff in order to file a report
- and I wonder if that might put a significant number of users off and
abandon completing the report at that point, particularly if they have
limited bandwidth available for downloads?
This may already be inhibiting the provision of some fraction of
important abrt entries? It would be interesting to hear other people's
view on this aspect?
In my opinion abrtd should not download any debuginfo's on the users
machine - zero. As long as the developers have the debuginfo the
tracebacks are useful - so there's no point in forcing users (devs can
download whatever they need) to download any debugging.
That said, Alan Cox mentioned in a different thread that there is a
version of abrtd which sends the data to a server (which has all
debuginfo files) to analyze - that is better in my view.
