I have some bugs filed against YaST2 for various things and of course I am asked to attach y2logs. But for whatever reason my y2logs are ~14Mb and there is a 10Mb limit in bugzilla. I left a comment a few days ago but there is no response.
Are y2logs normally > 10Mb? How do I resolve this?
The "save_y2logs" script (this is what is called by the Shift-F7 key in the
YaST2 Qt UI) accepts .tgz or .bz2 file names and uses the appropriate
compression method (gzip or bzip2) accordingly. If your logs are just above
10 MB, you might just get lucky with .bz2.

If that also doesn't work, you can split up overly large archives with
the "split" command and attach the parts as indivual attachments. But if you
do that, please add a comment describing how you did it so the parts can be
reassembled.
It will be little consolation for you that this Bugzilla attachments max size
was a major discussion not so long ago. The limit was raised, but obviously
it's still not large enough.
