How to test?

Update your machine to latest Rawhide or F10

See the instructions on the Rawhide page on the various ways in which you can install or update to Rawhide.

Installation

Create a yum repo for crash-handler. For example, to create a repo called /etc/yum.repos.d/crash-handler.repo, type:

# cat <<EOF>>/etc/yum.repos.d/crash-handler.repo
[crash-handler]
name=crash-handler
baseurl=http://jmoskovc.fedorapeople.org/crashcatcher/
EOF

Install the crash-catcher packages:
```
# yum install crash-catcher*
```
Restart the computer to launch the daemon and load the necessary dbus configuration files
check if the daemon is really running, if not for some reason, run crash-catcher
run cc-applet (as an ordinary user)

Test

Follow the test case.

Results

If you find any bug (i.e. the test case does not complete as expected, or you encounter some buggy behaviour while carrying it out), then file a ticket via the crash-catcher Trac system. Design discussion can also take place on the crash-catcher mailing list.

Please record what applications you test with crash-catcher and their results in the table below.
