default-syslog is scheduled for removal, although not in the next Debian version of runit. > I suggest a patch along the lines of > the attached to prepare for this implementation of syslog joining > debian. I can add 'metalog-log' [*] for now; if I add 'metalog' it won't work when this is removed. I intend to remove default-syslog in this cycle, just after renaming other syslogs services; given that renaming a service in runit is non trivial extra work I think is better to get the name right from the start. Best, Lorenzo [*]or metalog.log if that's looks less ugly, the format of the 'log' suffix is open for changes until other services are renamed. Constrains are that it has to work with 'sv start|check /etc/service/*.log' and it has to be unique enough that there are no false matches Best, Lorenzo > > Thanks! > > Andrew > > [1] ITP #1109152 https://bugs.debian.org/1109152 > > > -- System Information: > Debian Release: forky/sid > APT prefers experimental > APT policy: (1, 'experimental') > Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) > Foreign Architectures: i386 > > Kernel: Linux 6.17.8+deb14-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads; PREEMPT) > Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), > LANGUAGE=en_GB:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash > Init: runit (via /run/runit.stopit) > LSM: AppArmor: enabled > > Versions of packages runit depends on: > ii libc6 2.41-12 > ii runit-helper 2.16.4 > ii sysuser-helper 1.6.0 > > Versions of packages runit recommends: > ii runit-init 2.2.0-6 > > Versions of packages runit suggests: > ii runit-services 0.10.0 > ii socklog 2.1.1+repack-1 > pn ucspi-unix <none> > ii xchpst 0.8.0~git20251026.d185632-1~ajb1 > ii zsh 5.9-8+b14 > > -- Configuration Files: > /etc/sv/default-syslog/check changed: > socklog-check && exit 0 > unixclient /dev/log /bin/true 2>&1 | grep -q '^connect: Protocol > wrong type for socket' && exit 0 fuser /dev/log >/dev/null > 2>/dev/null && exit 0 # psmisc is not essential+not available on Hurd > 2>for service in rsyslog socklog-unix syslog-ng metalog > 2>busybox-syslogd inetutils-syslogd ; do > sv u $service && sv check $service && exit 0 > done > exit 1 > > > -- no debconf information
