I would like to be able to add an attachment to a bug report from the command line. I was surprised to see that none of the apport-xxxx tools support this.
My use case is mainly for Launchpad bug triage; instead of 'navigate to http://bugs.launchpad.net/....yada-yada and locate the "Add attachment" link', I would like to write a simpler instruction which works even if the user doesn't have a web browser open -- such as when reading email from Launchpad in their email client -- and which could probably be a lot shorter as well, like 'type the following command in a terminal window: apport-attach -b 12345 /var/log/apt/term.log'
In particular, some users are unfamiliar with the Launchpad workflow, and have trouble relating the message in their inbox to "your bug report" which lives on a Launchpad server somewhere, and is connected to a web page on the Launchpad web site. A simple command-line tool is understandable (or at least operable) in isolation, without a lot of support documentation.
Would be a useful addition.
