I'm struggling with /proc/ppc64; "tar cv /proc/ppc64/ | tar t" only
archives the dir, and never anything inside it, so it seems tar has some
trouble with the "magic" dirs in /proc.

Title:
  Make apport collect some Power information

Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  On power/ppc64el system, we would need to enhance current apport reporting tool which some information like file content or commands output including
            "/proc/device-tree/"
              "/proc/loadavg"
              "/proc/locks"
             "/proc/misc"
              "/proc/swaps"
              "/proc/version"
              "/dev/nvram"
              "/var/log/platform"
              "ppc64_cpu --smt"
              "ppc64_cpu --cores-present"
              "ppc64_cpu --cores-on"
              "ppc64_cpu --run-mode"
             "ppc64_cpu --frequency"
             "ppc64_cpu --dscr"

  Readme says : For complete instructions, see /usr/share/doc/apport/package-hooks.txt but
  cat: /usr/share/doc/apport/package-hooks.txt: No such file or directory

  Do I understand correctly I would need to create a file (for example)
  named : /usr/share/apport/general-hooks/power.py ?

  Other questions:
  Do you have common functions to put output of commands in logfile ?
  do you have common functions to copy config file tree content to log file or should I create the list of file and copy content of each file to the logfile ?
