Re: Unsolicited proposal for log4cxx project

Hi,

I am not sure to have understood well, but I would like to precise that the
log4cxx project has already implemented the SyslogAppender in the following way
:

If the syslogHost property is set to "localhost" or "127.0.0.1", the
SyslogAppender invokes the standard POSIX C function "syslog".

If the syslogHost property is valid remote address or hostname, the
SyslogAppender sends UDP packets to the remote host using port 514 (exactly
like log4j does).

Regards,

Hello,

Here is an unsolicited proposal intended for consumption by the
log4cxx project.

While setting up a linux server using the gentoo distribution, I
noticed that there were several new syslogd clones available. See the
list below.

It seems to me that by implementing a syslog compatible interface, the
log4cxx project would stand to gain massively in its attractiveness
and popularity.

As far as I know the syslog interface is in C, but since C++ is a
superset of C, that should not be an unsurmountable problem. Or?

Given that many of the syslog clones are distributed under the BSD or
MIT licenses which are both quite similar to ASL version 1.0, their
inclusion in log4cxx verbatim or in modified form should not be a
major hurdle. (Although I'd have to double check this with the board.)

Anyway, is this something the log4cxx project would be interested in?
As this is an unsolicited proposal, please feel free to ignore.
