I'm in the process of implementing a solution for bug 2333
(controlling access / error log destination).

Here's the one-email version:

It has been requested that the ability to control where access and error log
information is sent be added to the depot server software.

This is so that administrators can reserve the smf logs for errors and send
access information to a separate log file or /dev/null.

The basic idea here is to add a -l parameter that you could use to define where
to send the contents of each log file.

You would use thusly:

depot.py -l errors=destination -l access=destination

Where destination is stderr, stdout, or a filename (including /dev/null).

If you do not specify the -l option, or you do not specify one of the two log
types it would default as such:

errors -> stderr
access -> stdout

Two new SMF properties would be added: pkg/access_log and pkg/error_log,
respectively.

Thoughts?
