When saving a coredump, savecore(8) maintains .last symlinks for the info and vmcore artifacts, but not for the crashinfo text report. Create it here to point at the current core.txt.<bounds> file. This makes /var/crash/core.txt.last track the same core dump as info.last and vmcore.last. Signed-off-by: Ricardo Branco <rbranco@suse.de>

When saving a coredump, savecore(8) maintains .last symlinks for the info and vmcore artifacts, but not for the crashinfo text report. Make crashinfo(8) create the link, pointing at the current core.txt.<bounds> file. This makes /var/crash/core.txt.last track the same core dump as info.last and vmcore.last. [mhorne: I tweaked the submission, such that the link will be created as soon as the core.txt.X file is generated; not only after a successful report has been written.] Signed-off-by: Ricardo Branco <rbranco@suse.de> Reviewed by: mhorne MFC after: 1 week Pull Request: #2199

I tested the script and made two small tweaks:
Please see the commit and let me know if there was a problem. I wanted to avoid an extra feedback cycle, so I just proceeded. Thanks again. |

I've just tested it and it works. The resulting symlink is relative like the others so the basename was indeed redundant. Thanks for merging. |
