Can I have some documentation examples excluded from Abrt crash collection?

[Karel Klic]

Hi Jeff,

Good idea, also the opencv package would use this feature for its Python 
programming examples. Current ABRT cannot ignore crashes based on paths, 
so it must be developed.

Please file a RFE in Bugzilla, and include the filename mask(s) marking 
the files you want to exclude. I think it will be something like:
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/scipy/*/examples/*.py

IMHO for the beginning it is right to have even package-specific 
configuration (like the excluded paths) in ABRT. Later this kind of 
configuration should move to the packages, as ABRT configuration files 
and feature set become more mature and stable.
