Package: dpkg
Version: 1.15.8.8
Severity: important
Hello,
there are some daemons that write messages only to stdout/err (so they don't
have any "logging" capabilities by themselves).
With the current classic execution line:
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --background --exec $DAEMON -- $DAEMON_OPTS
those messages are lost, and they are the only form of debugging the daemon
gives, without them we're forced to start it by-hand (hence the quite high
severity).
Do you think it's feasable to add an option to redirect those messages to a
file? something like --output /path/to/logfile , so we can look there for
important msgs.
Thanks for considering,
Sandro
PS: I checked the manpage for the presence of any option interesting, but found
nothing. I didn't check the source code (so it might be hidden there?).

Changes:

.
[ Raphaël Hertzog ]
* dpkg-source will now clean up after a failed application of a quilt
patch. Closes: #652970
And it will display a message explaining the most likely cause of
failure (patch applying with fuzz).
* When dpkg-source regenerates the automatic patch (with formats "2.0"
or "3.0 (quilt)") it will keep the current patch header to avoid
losing changes made by the maintainer.
* Modify dpkg-source --commit to auto-whitelist modified binary files.
That way the same command can be used whatever kind of upstream files
has been modified.
* dpkg-source now supports a new option --no-unapply-patches to force
patches to be kept applied after build (used by formats "2.0" and "3.0
(quilt)"). Closes: #643043
.
[ Guillem Jover ]
* Add a dpkg-buildflags --status action to describe the flag settings.
Thanks to Bernhard R. Link <brl...@debian.org>. Closes: #664058

marking changelog entries as part of a binary only upload, having a
different version from the source package. Closes: #440094, #672723
* Minimize source architecture list on «dpkg-source -b» by removing
architectures already covered by architecture wildcards. Closes: #675333

Thanks to Niels Thykier <ni...@thykier.net>. Closes: #677631
* Document in more detail in deb(5) the supported ar archive format.
* Document in deb-src-control(5) the “Private-” field prefix.
* Add new start-stop-daemon --no-close option to disable closing file
descriptors on --background. Closes: #627333, #64642
* Switch source compression to xz.
* Detect ar header fields truncation due to too long member names or too
large member sizes. Closes: #678933
* Add new dpkg-query --control-list and --control-show commands, which
replace the now deprecated --control-path.
* Print master and slave alternarive link names in update-alternatives
--query and always print alternative link in --config. Closes: #679010

Thanks to Jonathan Nieder <jnie...@gmail.com>. Closes: #624000

* Add support for specific arch-qualified dependencies. Closes: #676232
Thanks to Thibaut Girka <t...@sitedethib.com>.
* Accept “:native” arch-qualified Build-Dependencies. Closes: #558095
Thanks to Thibaut Girka <t...@sitedethib.com>.
* Do not use undefined values returned form deps_parse() in dpkg-shlibdeps.
Closes: #640676
