Lots of gdb.log files for gdb-testresults?

Lots of gdb.log files for gdb-testresults?

[Michael Elizabeth Chastain]

Hello,

I have a set of 8 gdb.log + gdb.sum files which I would like to post
to gdb-testresults.  These files are big: 2.2 megabytes for each gdb.log
file and 0.5 megabytes for each gdb.sum file.

Should I ...

(a) just mail them in, this is what gdb-testresults is for?

(b) mail in only the gdb.sum files?

(c) hold onto the files myself for now?

I have ambitions to scale up to 20-100 sets per week.  Also, the compression
ratio on these files is pretty good: gzip --best gives an 88.2% compression
ratio.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

So we're talking about (2.7E+6 bytes * 0.12) * 50sets/week *
52weeks/year or around 842MB/year?  That's a pretty big chunk of
disk space - the past three years of list traffic only takes around
8GB of disk space for all ~150 mailing lists hosted on sourceware+gcc.
Is this information really going to be useful?  Could it be better
represented in diffs, or in some sort of SQL database?  Maybe the
gdb project maintainers would want to set up a ftp directory and
dump them in there or something like that. (but then the ftp site
mirrors would be forced to replicate all of it to their sites..)

I'm not responsible for sourceware, so my opinions aren't very
relevant :-), but that's a lot of disk space..

I've always wondered about this my self.  Would just the .sum file be 
sufficient.  Er, even that is 0.5mb.

It does end up in a database eventually but that doesn't stop the
disk archives from being filled up.

We really don't have the capacity to handle this, unfortunately.
So, I'd rather you didn't do this Michael.

Try gcc's contrib/test_summary.  It collects only FAILs, XPASSes and
totals from the .sum file, and posts them to a mailing list.

Okay, I will refrain from sending files to gdb-testresults.  Even the gdb.sum
files would be pretty large.

I will keep stockpiling the files and maybe the Time Fairy will give me an
extra month this Christmas to figure out some kind of test results database.
