[openbeos] automated bug report (WAS: Re: Bug-reporting on Mail Daemon Replacement)

how hard can it be for the talented programmers of obos to produce a debug 
daemon (syslog daemon while you're 
at it? ;)
only this debug daemon won't send u to a terminal but instead will print to a 
file default (changed via pref?)
sc and regs .
the file can be then neatly saved into a directory structure like
/boot/home/crasher-bugs/system/app_name (if ran from /boot/beos/* )
                         /app_name             (else)
maybe the system bugs can have a dialog asking the user if s/he wants to 
generate an automated email (which will be 
sent to a database) -- in case the software is release quality. (not some 
developer making tests)

maybe there's some way to unify certain debugs instead of checking each one out.
like by a function or file it failed on (maybe as an attribute?)
-- this, i'm not sure could be easily done, since the debugger is a seperate 
app.

this could really ease a dev's life.
(maintaining a database of bugs in a simple folder)


there is a similar concept but much simpler in win nt, with saving to a text 
file, can't remember the daemon's name.

any comments?? ideas?
