A system without (a running) logging daemon is not Hmh, but… “From bookworm, rsyslog is no longer installed by default.” … is in the release notes at least, and the init script thing is annoying, yeah… but inetutils-syslogd works. >Should I open up another bug report for making o-s-s a hard dependency >for (one of) the SysVinit packages? Hm, I don’t know if that would be helpful at the moment. And if SRM need one we could just repurpose/retitle this one, as that would be the better outcome. Mark, do you already have a plan for this? Talk to SRM and see whether we can get that Depends into the next point release at least? Is o-s-s stable enough in bookworm to do that? bye, //mirabilos -- 15:41⎜<Lo-lan-do:#fusionforge> Somebody write a testsuite for helloworld :-)
