[Buildbot-devel] build log files

[Bailey, Darragh]

Noticed that my build logs take up a lot of space. Since I have 64
builds running and the largest log is at 11MB, this can rapidly grow to
take a lot of space. On average, this looks to be about 300MB per day.

So I'm wondering if anyone has done any work on supporting compressed
log files in buildbot. I would like to keep about 2 week's worth of log
files. But not if it's going to take up 4GB of space.

With gzip, I get a 90% reduction in size, and it's relatively quick,
taking just under 6s to compress and 31s to decompress. 

Would this be something worthwhile adding to buildbot in general or do I
just have unusually large log files?
