Re: Emulation of log4j 1.2's o.a.l.RollingFileAppender

[Paul Smith]

as long as we mark the old file as deprecated, and with loud warnings to 
all that it's being removed in the next major release after 1.3, I'm all 
in favour of backward compatability, as I believe that will get everyone 
to transistion easily to 1.3.

Still, it might be worth poking a message to velocity-dev to see if they 
have a release coming up in the near term, and would they mind 
considering going to 1.3?

o.a.l.rolling.RollingFileAppender is not a viable options since I'm 
sure they don't want to mandate force their users to migrate to 1.3.

After reviewing 1.2's o.a.l.RollingFileAppender, it looks like it 
would be fairly simple to build an emulation that delegated to 1.3's 
o.a.l.rolling.RollingFileAppender.  I haven't attempted it yet, but 
expect I could have it ready in fairly short order.  I suspect that it 
may be controversial, so I'm throwing it out for discussion.
