[Buildbot-devel] Processing a log file to create a HTMLLog in a custom BuildStep

[Pierre Tardy]

you need to first transfer the file to the master.

I think the best option is to factorize master/buildbot/steps/transfer.py,
so that FileUpload functionality is accessible in a composite step (and
send a patch!)
