I haven't been able to track down the right people in mozilla to ask, |
| 34 |
yet. I have seen some bugs where the developers that work on fixing |
| 35 |
an issue are indeed referencing the crash dumps that were submitted; i |
| 36 |
don't know if or how well the crash report submitting links multiple |
| 37 |
crashes together to the same issue, though. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Mozilla also has a very hefty 'try' (tinderbox) system, though, that |
| 40 |
runs builds on every single commit across every platform that is |
| 41 |
supported -- I believe they have a number of tools that help aggregate |
| 42 |
the errors and warnings from those logs to provide useful output to |
| 43 |
support development, and I think that model might be more comparable |
| 44 |
to what we would need in Gentoo -- essentially, this project Igor is |
| 45 |
suggesting would turn the Gentoo community into one massive tinderbox. |
