Re: [OE-core] [oe-core][rocko][sumo][master][PATCH 1/2] bitbake.conf: add PERSISTENT_LOG_DIR variable

2018-08-20 Thread Ankur Tyagi 
Initially I thought of doing that but then dropped it because it would
create a dependency on syslog configuration file.
If in future syslog configuration parameter (LOGFILE) gets renamed, then we
need to make corresponding change as well.

I think creating /var/log as a link is a less dependent change.

Let me know your thoughts.

Ankur

Re: [OE-core] [oe-core][rocko][sumo][master][PATCH 1/2] bitbake.conf: add PERSISTENT_LOG_DIR variable

2018-08-19 Thread ChenQi 

The requirement is to put logs into directories other than /var/log.
Could it be achieved by modifying the syslog daemon configuration file 
(e.g. /etc/syslog.conf) to replace /var/log with the specified 
directory. Maybe the corresponding logrotate configuration file also 
needs to be modified.

This variable is only respected when VOLATILE_LOG_DIR is "no".

The default value is "" which results in the /var/log being log directory.

The user could override this value to a path e.g "/home/root/log" which
results /var/log being a link pointing to /home/root/log directory on
persistent storage.

2018-08-17 Thread Ankur Tyagi 
This variable is only respected when VOLATILE_LOG_DIR is "no".

The default value is "" which results in the /var/log being log directory.

The user could override this value to a path e.g "/home/root/log" which
results /var/log being a link pointing to /home/root/log directory on
persistent storage.
