The problem is that we do not know which files are modified by Yast, we would need to explicitly list the extra files. But I'm not sure it is actually needed, I usually log all important values which are read or written so they should be in the standard y2log. (Yes, there is a possibility that the parser/serializer is broken and it reads/writes something different than what was logged, but that's very rare and I cannot remember any real issue.) Another issue might be sensitive values in the extra files (like passwords, credentials), when logging I replace sensitive values by "[FILTERED]", "PASSWORD" or "******" replacement. Depending on the file we might need some additional filtering which would make it more complicated. > What do you think about this idea?

For me the current state is OK, just the usual y2log is sufficient for me. -- Best Regards Ladislav Slezák Yast Developer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: [email protected] Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 960 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] To contact the owner, e-mail: [email protected]
