Hi, regarding the recent 'default syslog' discussion I wanted to check what is Arch up to now...I came to interesting results concerning pacman's search behavior.[marek@beruska ~]$ pacman -Ss syslog core/perl 5.12.3-1 [12.06 MB] (base) [installed] A highly capable, feature-rich programming language core/syslog-ng 3.2.2-2 [0.21 MB] (base) Next-generation syslogd with advanced networking and filtering capabilities extra/metalog 1.0-1 [0.02 MB] Metalog is a modern replacement for syslogd and klogd community/perl-device-modem 1.53-1 [0.04 MB] Perl extension to talk to modem devices connected via serial port community/rsyslog 5.8.0-1 [0.25 MB] [installed] An enhanced multi-threaded syslogd with a focus on security and reliability [marek@beruska ~]$ I thought pacman -Ss "string" searches packages' name and desc for the string, I wonder why the perl things show up? Cheers& happy Eastern! :)
It's because the perl package provides perl-sys-syslog. -- Regards, Richard Schütz
