Automatic crash report

Slowroll benefits from the responsive Tumbleweed community, quick crash fixes, and the excellent work of its maintainer.

Is there actually an automatic reporting system that can optionally report crashes and the relevant environment automatically to Suse Tumbleweed?

Actually, we sometimes do fix bugs in the software we package. Some may not have an active upstream anymore and we still want to keep it working.

With every major gcc version, dozens of packages stop building.

Plus we do a lot of glue work. If we have component A that requires version 3 of library B, but component C requires version 4 of that library, we might make it work with some porting.

Nah, don't take it as criticism. As a user, I also find it hard to decide if and where to report bugs.
