Package: systemd Version: 208-6 Severity: normal
Hi. 1) It seems that systemd's reportbug scripts always attach ridiculously big log/debug files that it attaches to the sent mail. An otherwise empty bug report just produced a file: l /tmp/reportbug-systemd-20140727-23596-mFq0pl -rw------- 1 calestyo calestyo 537k Jul 27 00:20 /tmp/reportbug-systemd-20140727-23596-mFq0pl In recent days I got several mails via the deb bug lists in the 1-4 MB area... that should be really avoided. I mean can't you just xz --best this before sending? 2) For many bug reports (e.g. this one) these attached logs/debug files are probably not needed anyway. And from with reportbug, the user doesn't see which information is sent, nor can he choose whether he wants to send it or not (I was only asked whether I want to add fstab stuff) Could you please ask the user whether he wants to attach such information, including a brief description about which information is included? I mean for some users, the list of services installed, or the list of devices with their UUIDs may be already sensitive information. Cheers, Chris.
