Inclusion of breakpad fork in bug-buddy
Last modified: 2007-07-31 16:19:46 UTC
Hi, While looking at bug-buddy 2.19.0, I saw the inclusion of code from Google breakpad with modifications to this code. This is a big issue for distros such as Debian which do not allow embedded copies to be used. The rationale is that security fixes should be made at a single place. Of course, some projects are forks of some others, in which case we support both branches, but in the general case (such as embedding a lib within a software), we don't allow this. It's ok to have an embedded copy as a *fallback*, and for example allow building against an external breakpad, but I fear this is not possible since you need some modifications to breakpad, is this correct? If it is, could you please send these changes to breakpad's upstream? Thanks,
