Huge build logs make contributions impossible #1792

Here are what happens:

  • On Firefox, since the log page is too long, it cannot complete loading, gives up in the middle:

  • On Chrome, it seems to load the complete log, but gives up rendering in the middle:

Whether it is a Chrome issue or not does not matter. What is important here is that Xamarin does not give sane way to diagnose any blocking problem for contributors (and of course our own) pull requests.

We have to fix this either 1) by reducing insane amount of build logs, or 2) provide any way to diagnose logs.

Actually 2) is not really a viable solution. Xamarin cannot ask contributors to read hundreds of megabytes of single build logs to investigate.

When we were using old CI server (wrench) it had never occurred because each build steps were split and we had to read only relevant log parts.
