The binary format provides various benefits, such as - faster - easier to 'grep' (way more advanced stuff is available) A text format is provided by running "journalctl". You can pipe this do a file and have the exact same information. Additionally, you can still run syslog and get everything like you have it as now. IMO this addresses every concern, right? -- Regards, Olav -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
