[ITP] google-breakpad

[Jon TURNEY]

These packages contain the minidump analysis part of breakpad, a
multi-platform crash reporting and analysis system using minidumps.

It doesn't make much sense to package the libbreakpad_client crash handling
library, as this conflicts with cygwin's error_start facility.  It might make
some sense to make MinGW cross-compiled packages of libbreakpad_client in the
future.

I can't find this in any major linux distribution, so votes are required.

* google-breakpad-tools

This package contains the minidump_dump and minidump_stackwalk tools

The breakpad_dump_syms tool for generating breakpad symbol files has been
patched to read DWARF debug sections from a PE/COFF file (but see [1]).

The core2md and md2core tools to convert between minidump and core files have
not been ported.

The symsrv_convert tool, which reads PDB debug info from a MS symbol server
and converts it to a breakpad symbol file is very hard to port, as it uses the
MS DIA SDK and ATL.

This package contains libbreakpad, a library for minidump processing.

[1] But this is currently not much use with modules produced by the GNU
toolchain.  breakpad locates the corresponding symbol files using a unique
build-id recorded for each module in the minidump.   For the Windows minidump
writer, this takes the form of a 'CodeView record'.  Modules produced by the
GNU toolchain do not have CodeView records, although I have written an example
patch to add this [2].

Packaging looks fine and I think this is interesting new functionality,
so I vote +1.  However, did you only provide a 32 bit package for a
reason?


Thanks,
Corinna

An oversight on my part. 64-bit packages can be found at:
