MySQL: Text field for output too short

[gorenje]

Hi,

the output fields on build_parts and builds are both text types, which means that when using MySQL* these are truncated to 64K characters. This might be fine for most things, but is insufficient if the output of bundle install and rake db:migrate are included and then a bunch of test outputs.

class OutputNeedsToBeLongtextWithMysql < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def self.up
    change_column :build_parts, :output, :longtext
    change_column :builds, :output, :longtext
  end

  def self.down
    change_column :build_parts, :output, :text
    change_column :builds, :output, :text
  end
end

the migration has no effect using sqlite but does change the column to longtext when using mysql. The commit is on a branch on my fork.
