Concern about new g-b-s logging change - loss of error detection

[Max Bowsher]

Please forgive me if this has already been discussed - I've been 
time-limited to scanning subject lines only recently.


Bourne shells consider only the exit status of the last command in a 
pipeline when determining $? - this means that the addition of lots of "| 
tee somefile" will cause errors occurring during the commands being logged 
to be ignored.

This seems to me to be a more severe problem than not keeping the logs in 
the first place - as a failing "make" could result in the packaging of a 
partially built package.
