While this isn't exactly necessary for tinderbox purposes, having |
| 7 |
portage be able to dump consolidated logs (tarball, etc) might be |
| 8 |
really useful for bug reporting purposes in general. Right now we ask |
| 9 |
users to submit a laundry list of useful data that requires several |
| 10 |
commands to consolidate. If a simple command dumped all the useful |
| 11 |
info relevant to the last failed build into a tarball suitable for |
| 12 |
attachment to a bug, that might be very useful all-around. |

| 14 |
This could also be leveraged for a bug reporter as well. The tarball |
| 15 |
might include an xml or text that contains relevant metadata for the |
| 16 |
failed build suitable for parsing by the log server. |

Just a random thought - not my project... |
