Repo binlogs should be copied to artifacts/log in the product build

[ViktorHofer]

The current artifacts log layout is bizarre:

I think it would make more sense if the inner and outer repo build would put their binlog directly into the VMR's artifacts/log/<configuration>/ folder.

Example:

• artifacts/log/Release/arcade-outer-build.binlog
• artifacts/log/Release/arcade-inner-build.binlog

We will introduce a new environment variable that specifies the log folder to write into. If a repository produces more binlogs, they should respect that env var and write to that folder. I.e. fsharp

Is there an arcade/source-build variable that can be used to find the top-level artifacts/log directory from each repo? Or should we introduce the environment variable and then teach arcade to use that to set CurrentRepoSourceBuildBinlogFile?

Hey thanks for picking this up 👍 No, we don't yet have an env var for that. Naming suggestions? :)

Some random suggestions:

• DotNetOutputBinlogDir
• DotNetBuildOutputBinlogDir
• DotNetBuildOutputLogDir
• DotNetArtifactsLogDir

One more: DotNetBuildBinlogDir

Implies that this affects the product build and binlogs.
