> Important note regarding FWTS tests
>
> From now on, a copy of dmesg and syslog are included in the logs generated
> when running FWTS tests in order to help engineers when investigating
> issues.
> Because of this, the generated logs might become very big, so it was
> decided to compress them before sending them over to C3 (when submitting to
> C3).
>
> Currently, Checkbox cannot send binary files to C3, so we have to
> base64-encode the compressed files before sending them.
>
> This means that when this version is pushed to the Stable PPA, if you want
> to open a FWTS log file from C3, you'll have to do the following:
>
>   - download file from C3 (let's call it "fwts_log")
>   - decode it: base64 -d fwts_log > fwts_log.xz
>   - uncompress it (it's an xz archive)
