[OE-core] Why do we use sysklogd as the default syslog?
Hi All, I just noticed that we are using sysklogd as the default syslog. meta/recipes-extended/packagegroups/packagegroup-core-full-cmdline.bb:VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_syslog ?= "sysklogd" sysklogd has stopped development for about 4 years, and as far as I can see, nobody is maintaining it. Is there some specific reason why we want to keep it as the default syslog for our reference images? small size?

You are welcome to improve this. Quite often the answer to such questions is 'because no one is aware of the situation'.

Alex In case someone is also interested in this topic, I'll add some more information here. rsyslog is GPLv3 and syslog-ng uses a very different configuration style from traditional sysklogd. So I guess I'll just leave things as they are now.
