bugreporting script - second try

[Matthias Juchem]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: TEXT/PLAIN, Size: 481 bytes --]

Hi there.

I rewrote my previous bugreport.pl in bash. I would appreciate it if you
had a look on this one. Run it once and give me feedback if you like.

If the formatting is overloaded please let me know.

If this one is ok, I will probably add the possibility to check
the version recommendations in Documentation/Changes (Keith posted it).

To Ulrich: I think I have the library checking part ok now (libg++ will
also be checked via ldconfig in the next version).

 Matthias

Well it certantly works here. Almost everything is extracted correctly. I
could not btw test the ksymoops "feature" unfortunately.

What I did notice was the following.
This was checking "b) software" in the output file.

 GNU C                  2.96
 Modutils               2.4.1
 GNU make               3.79.1,
 Binutils               2.10.90
 Linux libc5 C Library  not found
 Linux libc6 C Library  2.2,
 Linux C++ library      2.7.2.8
 Dynamic linker         2.2
 Procps                 2.0.7
 Procinfo
 Psmisc                 19
 Net-tools              1.56
 PPP                    command
 Kdb
 Sh-utils               2.0
 Util-linux             2.10m
 E2fsprogs              1.19,
 Bash                   2.04.11(1)-release


I do not have any PPP, and no kdb installed on that machine, neither do I
have procinfo. Shouldn't it say N/A or not found instead of the above? The
ppp part is not true ;-).

Other thing I thought about was the Ctrl-D thingy when entering text.
What if ppl don't have any text to enter? Shouldn't is say on each line
that if you don't have anything to write then just write N/A and press
Ctrl-D? Because pressing Ctrl-D directly doesn't do any good.

Sorry to just be a pain in the ass, and *very* sorry for not having the
time to make a patch for you :)

But you did a good job. I think this is really good for new kernel ppl.
This could be very appreciated!

Oohh btw when doing a pppd --version on my system I get.
[xxxx@~]$ pppd --version
bash: pppd: command not found

Sure. I forgot to convert some function calls... But I'll have to rewrite
that part anyway, I don't like it.

You are right. I will change this...

That's fine, I *need* comments.

I have a suggestion, there is a kernel patch to add a config.gz entry in
the /proc fs. It reflects the configuration used in building the running
kernel, which may differ from the one you have in /usr/src/linux. It's
part of the suse distribution. The attached patch will use it, although
you may want to add code to ask the user which one to use.

I have added your suggestion. If gzip and /proc/config.gz exist, the
latter is used.
I think /proc/config.gz is always the one. (There are many places where
the script assumes that you are running the kernel which caused the
problem.)

problem: exits top level shell if no filename is specified, annoyance
aesthetics: cat: /proc/scsi/scsi: No such file or directory, simple
aesthetics:  GNU make               3.79.1,
problem:  Linux libc5 C Library  5@..
aesthetics:  Linux libc6 C Library  2.2,
problem:  Linux C++ library      27@..
problem:  Net-tools
problem:  PPP                    file
aesthetics: .config, recommend stripping the ^CONFIG_ and =, combine all 'y'
and 'm'

example fix for C library:
   sed \
     '/C [lL]ibrary /!d; s/[^0-9]*\([0-9.]*\).*/\1/' \
     /lib/libc.so.6

example fix for C++ library:
   basename $(/usr/bin/ls -f /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libg++.so.27 \
     |gawk '{print $NF}')

example fix for GNU make:
   make --version|sed '/version/!d; s/[^0-9]*\([0-9.]*\).*/\1/'

example fix for net-tools:
   1) hostname from sh-utils:
       hostname --version|sed '/GNU sh/!d; s/[^0-9]*\([0-9.]*\).*/\1/'
   2) ifconfig from net-tools:
      ifconfig --version 2>&1|sed '/net\-tools/!d; s/[^0-9]*\([0-9.]*\).*/\1/'

pppd requires a proper /etc/ppp/options file before printing the version, if
you have devfs and a disconnecting modem, i.e. usb modem, it must be
attached for the /dev entry or pppd will refuse to run.

I prefer using e2fsck to report the version:
   e2fsck -V 2>&1 |sed '/e2fsck/!d; s/e2fsck [^0-9]*\([0-9.]*\).*/\1/'
