A non-plain text syslog? That sounds stupid to me. Plain text is one of the reasons I love Unix in the first place.

- sigzero 15y agoYup, incredible stupid. That means it will go into Fedora.
- LeonidasXIV 15y agoSo who of you actually read Lennarts blog postings about the rationale? Or do you just dismiss it because SYSV didn't do that, some fourty years ago?
- RexRollman 15y agoIf I wanted non-plain text logging, I'd use Windows. And I like BSD (I have never liked the SYS-V init system).
- LeonidasXIV 15y agoSo your argument is you want plaintext because you want plaintext? I replaced the BSD-like init system in Arch, because it is buggy. And I can dual-boot init-systems now.
- nate_meurer 15y agoI read it. The benefits are awfully dubious, and the downside is significant. It reinvents a wheel in the most literal sense. It claims to fix problems that are already addressed, or are easily addressable, in the current implementation and derivatives like rsyslog. Lennart's not even planning on documenting the format.
