One of my gripes with logcheck is that it installs filters for packages that are not installed, and even for packages that are installed, it installs filters across multiple versions (e.g. postfix).
I think the Debian way is for packages to provide their own logcheck filters. Thus, in the very long-run, what I would really like to see is an effort to move the files into the respective packages. Obviously, not all maintainers will be happy with that, but if we can get consensus and a coordinated effort, I think we can go very far. I'd be willing to coordinate the transition(s), but I'd like to hear what people have to say. I have heard the argument that it's best not to upset the status quo, but that just doesn't feel right to me -- we are dealing with Debian after all, so we *can* move ahead to provide better integration of logcheck with the rest of the archive. What are peoples' thoughts on this? -- .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' : proud Debian developer and author: http://debiansystem.info `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system "the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist." -- verbal kint (the usual suspects)
