We had this discussion before in the ML to add cool stuff like Log into local socked, syslog or whatever. This can be done later in an AddOn for example.

An informative message is not debugging. >From sys/syslog.h: #define LOG_EMERG 0 /* system is unusable */ #define LOG_ALERT 1 /* action must be taken immediately */ #define LOG_CRIT 2 /* critical conditions */ #define LOG_ERR 3 /* error conditions */ #define LOG_WARNING 4 /* warning conditions */ #define LOG_NOTICE 5 /* normal but significant condition */ #define LOG_INFO 6 /* informational */ #define LOG_DEBUG 7 /* debug-level messages */ We don't have EMERG and ALERT because Qt applications (often) aren't system applications and can't cause those conditions. And we don't have NOTICE or INFO because our message output was designed only for developer usage (from developers to other developers). That also reminds me: some systems would benefit from having our message output go to syslog. MeeGo had a patch that I wrote a long time ago that sent all messages to syslog. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center Intel Sweden AB - Registration Number: 556189-6027 Knarrarnäsgatan 15, 164 40 Kista, Stockholm, Sweden _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
