Bug 118716 – dev-util/google-coredumper - Make GDB readable cores from multithreaded programs

• Status: CONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Segin 2006-01-11 15:39:41 UTC]

The attached ebuild is for version 0.2 of the Google Coredumper library, designed to make proper GDB-readable multithreaded cores, even if the kernel lacks (or doesn't do this) functionality (very well).

[Comment 2 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2006-01-13 18:03:40 UTC]

A couple of notes:

1/ Header is invalid - http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm/docs/mw-faq/header.txt
2/ src_unpack() is redundant - http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm/docs/mw-faq/redundant.txt
3/ You have a typo in HOMEPAGE - should be http://goog-coredumper.sourceforge.net/ ;)
4/ Why not dodoc ChangeLog and TODO?

OK, I'll go fix these things (I did not know about the header thing, realize that someone else made the ebuild and to say the least, it wasn't pretty. This is a cleanup attempt of something FUBAR.)

1.2.1-1 has been released in April 2008; if anyone is still interested and wants to see this in the Portage tree, you are welcome to contribute a new version.

updated ebuild for the latest available version (1.2.1). Still from 2008. This library has become a dependency of openbts (http://openbts.org/), just in case anyone wonders why this could be needed.
