[Buildbot-devel] Using addHTML log without links being generated?

[Axel Hecht]

I'd suggest to use a DirectoryUpload step to get the logs from the slave to
the public_html dir of the master, possibly into a builder/step dependent
subdir, http://djmitche.github.com/buildbot/docs/0.7.10/#Transferring-Files.
And then just addURL. You might be able to do that by just subclassing
DirectoryUpload and to self.step_status.addURL in finished.

Sounds like a nifty idea for an RFE to directory upload to do that anyway.
