Pleas provide ability to attach steam generated dmp files?

You copy the information in the dump into a gist.

Closing as this is not a steam issue.

its a binary file? can not copy into gist

MMrSchism 2013-01-24 github

Sorry, mea culpa. I forgot that the dumps are binary files.

Are you saying there's some configuration setting in steam-for-linux that we need to change, or are you bringing up a fundamental limitation of git? If it's git, it would be better to bring it up in a git forum.

There isn’t an option, no, this is a missing feature on github, so closing.

can it be solved with pull requests? i just need to know if there are no keys / passwords in the dump files then i will try to sent a pull request with all my dump files

pleas look at https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/pull/815 to see if this would solve that problem?

@gertcuykens: Definitely no. Please.

Theoretically, gists might be used for binary files, but not through their web interface.
One must create a gist first, then clone it as it was a repository (yes, it is possible), add the file, commit, push it and finally edit & save it on the web (to refresh gist info).
Here is an example:
https://gist.github.com/0830570e23f70f409d0f#file-steam-png
https://gist.github.com/0830570e23f70f409d0f/revisions

Confirmed, that works for me too. Any knowledge on security of passwords/keys in dumps? Just to be sure.
Can you add your solution to the readme?
