True. Personally, I intended to fix that problem on my own system by removing rsyslog as soon as persistent logging is enabled. :) > Fedora is trying to disable syslog in their default installation, but > that is a debate that we should really not be having right now. > > I’d say the situation is unfortunate, but nothing we should address > immediately. As a fix which wouldn't need to wait on the Great Syslog/Journal Debate, what about creating a separate trivial systemd-persistent-journal package, which enables persistent logging by installing /var/log/journal, sets up the appropriate permissions on that directory (systemd-journal and adm), and provides linux-kernel-log-daemon and system-log-daemon (since journald handles /dev/log compatibly)? - Josh Triplett -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
