Bug#781324: Feature request: dpkg logging to syslog

Would be really nice to have this in stretch. Not sure if there is a safe way to leave the syslog open. The following patch works for me (--log syslog).diff --git a/lib/dpkg/log.c b/lib/dpkg/log.c index 3079f3c..371ec5e 100644 --- a/lib/dpkg/log.c +++ b/lib/dpkg/log.c @@ -26,6 +26,7 @@ #include

Bug#781324: Feature request: dpkg logging to syslog

2015-03-27 Thread Petr Šťastný
Package: dpkg At the moment, dpkg writes its actitivity to file /var/log/dpkg.log (path can be changed with --log option), which seems to be the only option. man dpkg does not say anything about syslog logging option. Is it possible to add a feature to be able to send events to syslog (rsyslog)
