Package: unison
Version: 2.27.57-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Currently unison places its logfile in the home directory. It would be better (and nicer) if unison, by default, could place its logfile in .unison dir.
I have attached a patch (in dpatch format) to address this 'wishlist'
This wishlist could also be found at Ubuntu launchpad [0]
