Name        : btparser
Product     : Fedora 17
Version     : 0.20
Release     : 1.fc17
URL         : http://fedorahosted.org/btparser
Summary     : Parser and analyzer for backtraces produced by GDB
Description :
Btparser is a backtrace parser and analyzer, which works with
backtraces produced by the GNU Project Debugger. It can parse a text
file with a backtrace to a tree of C structures, allowing to analyze
the threads and frames of the backtrace and work with them.

Btparser also contains some backtrace manipulation and extraction
routines:
- it can find a frame in the crash-time backtrace where the program
  most likely crashed (a chance is that the function described in that
  frame is buggy)
- it can produce a duplication hash of the backtrace, which helps to
  discover that two crash-time backtraces are duplicates, triggered by
  the same flaw of the code
- it can "rate" the backtrace quality, which depends on the number of
  frames with and without the function name known (missing function
  name is caused by missing debugging symbols)

This is an update that readds ability to run custom collectors, readds termination of reporting if problem is marked as not-reportable and provides normalization function for kernel oops stack traces.
