13 I think the resistance against this more has to do with the output being more
14 esthetically pleasing (yes I know this is not really a good point for us, but
15 in general the cmake output is quite nice) than with "writing to stdout is
16 expensive" (which was a joke in the previous thread).

18 That being said, it probably makes sense to change the default to =1, as it
19 definitely helps debugging to see the build commands.

21 @infra:
22 However, please raise the file size limit for bugzilla then, and if possible,
23 please fix the use of compressed build logs. Right now, I would not recommend
24 uploading a compressed log to bugzilla, because:
25 * I have not found a way to have firefox uncompress and display it correctly
26 with one click (always have to download, save, ...)
27 * and often files end up double-compressed, i.e. save log.gz, gunzip, rename
28 log to log.gz, gunzip :(
