Bug#1107655: installation-report.template: Warn about mail size limit
Package: installation-report
Version: 2.95
Severity: wishlist
Dear maintainers,
installation-report.template recommends to attach installation logs and
other useful files to the bug report. However it appears that the
debian-boot mailing list which receives these reports discards mails
bigger than ~500 kB. For example some reports contain high-resolution
screen shots or the whole contents of /var/log/installer including
cdebconf data which take much more than 500 KB, even compressed. As a
consequence, such reports may remain unnoticed until someone browses the
BTS. So the template should warn about the mail size limit.
Or would it be better to raise or remove the mailing list size limit ?
