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 ?
