One of the first patches to Qt that MeeGo carried was an option to move all Qt warnings to the syslog. That helped device developers find out which applications were producing warnings and needed fixing. This is exactly why Jolla did the same patch for journald. That patch has been accepted into Qt. The question I brought up is whether we should enable it by default. Also note that all applications connected to a tty will still get output fed to a stderr, so developers will see their warnings. Querying journald is apparently easier than grepping stderr. Systemd also causes the stderr of applications it launches to be redirected into journald, but it loses a bit of information there -- you can't tell one program from a child process it launched. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago (AT) macieira.info - thiago (AT) kde.org Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center PGP/GPG: 0x6EF45358; fingerprint: E067 918B B660 DBD1 105C 966C 33F5 F005 6EF4 5358
