677735 - Liberate signatureUtilities

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Socorro :: General, task)

Description

[Jesse Ruderman]

It would be great if Socorro's signature generation function were usable with automation.py (e.g. on the server created for bug 561754).

It might be best to do this after the changes in bug 573100.

I guess this includes parsing the output of "minidump_stackwalk -m", normalizing function names, and skipping/appending based on a list.

Note that in bug 573100 / bug 636868 we're going to stop using minidump_stackwalk -m, so we should probably keep that separate. I think ideally we'd have a function that takes a list of stack frames and returns a signature.

Also, I really would like to see bug 528390 fixed, which would mean the signature generation parameters could easily change. Perhaps the right thing to do is to add a web service to Socorro that accepts a list of stack frames and returns a signature?
