Summary0004603: Crash reports with gdb missing (improvement)
DescriptionAbout 80% of the crash reports don't have a backtrace because gdb is not installed on the system. We'd need to handle this another way, as often no contact information is provided making the entire bug report completely useless.

Suggestions would be auto-tar.gz'ing and asking to email, or even doing something automatic (after prompting). In any case, giving the users a heads up rather than the current situation.
Right now the user may be thinking they are doing a good job by submitting a crash report, while in fact no backtrace and no contact information is received.

Still glad with the other ~20% ;)

look into tar.gz + upload, but only after user approval (check first how much MB this is on average and if our system can take it)

[unreal40 9f4496b] Let crash reporter upload core files and binaries on *NIX. Should help a lot since many people don't have gdb installed, which caused us to receive reports with just 'gdb: command missing' as a stack trace. (0004603)

Not the finest code, but it works well. This should really help us a lot.
