1979834 - Only preserve relevant stderr output from repo_sync

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Crash Reporting, enhancement)

Description

[Gabriele Svelto [:gsvelto]]

When fetching an Apple package, repo_sync will often spit out a warning if the file has already been downloaded, like this:

WARNING: did not add product 061-1955 to catalog index-1.sucatalog.gz.apple because it has not been downloaded.

This output is stored in the artifacts, see this line. It results in dozens of multi-megabyte artifacts that only contain those lines, see this one for example.

We should filter out those lines from the output and only preserve the actual errors. Once filtered out most .stderr files will be empty and there's no point in saving them in the artifacts. We should thus only preserve the non-empty .stderr files that are likely to contain relevant errors.
