[erlang-questions] Common Test logs

[Loïc Hoguin]

Thanks for looking into this!

Personally, keep N log directories would be enough. It would be useful 
on my development machine where I run tests a lot and rarely need to 
look back at much more than the past 2 or 3 runs.

But for my purposes, the 4th option also works (for example if I could 
say '-keep_logs_only_from_the_past 2days' or something).

For CI I simply keep everything, but organize it differently ( 
logs/$PROJECT/$RUNID/$OS/ and then Common Test has one test run per 
supported Erlang version, eg 
https://builds.ninenines.eu/logs/cowboy/125/archlinux/ ) so I would not 
use it there.

Cheers,
