I think creating a 'standardised' format is really taking it a step too far, we dont want to be debian. Standardisation is good, but to a level. Above that, it gets ridiculous. So long as the message is readable, I really see absolutely no reason to create a standard format. However, as for logging, I think that's an excellent idea, as many a times I have wanted to read an install message, but missed it due to the amount of packages being upgraded -- iphitus - archck maintainer Home:iphitus.loudas.com Blog: iphitus.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
