Bug ID: 50660
           Summary: The "job result" emails sent to developers are too big
           Product: Wine-Testbot
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

When a job completes WineSendLog sends an email to the developer who submitted
it. This email contains every log and test report. When the patch causes a full
recompilation of Wine the resulting email can be pretty big: more than 10 MB
(before base64 encoding).

We could compress the logs which may make the attachments a bit less practical
to read. We could also may skip the build logs if the build was sucessful, but
the test reports could be big too.

And all this information is available from the TestBot's Job Details page
anyway. So is it really necessary to email it? Wouldn't it be sufficient to
just have a link to the Job Details page and a summary of the result like in
the email sent to wine-devel?

--- Comment #1 from Henri Verbeet  ---
I suppose these can be useful on occasion, but personally I'd prefer simply not
getting these in the majority of cases. Perhaps the job submission form could
have an option along the lines of "E-mail me the results once this job
completes."?
