enabling autopkgtest makes sense for it, as that is not constrained by main/universe splits. > But I suspect that the team may increase its usage in the future so it might > be wiser to request its inclusion in Main so future releases will not be > blocked by the absence of the library.

Are you envisioning to ever support non-ubuntu-main configurations, or for example all-typical linux distros? The problem with liblogging-stdlog is that whilst nice, it's new. Thus one will end up with just syslog fallback path, or already has it anyway thus journald is just a new code path. .... there is even more simple way =) just use syslog() as journald slurps that up by default ;-) > Debian already builds with liblogging-stdlog so it would also minimize our > delta > . > > So I would appreciate suggestions and comments on the matter. > > Aside from that, the rest of rsyslog is ready for the merge. > I would not pre-emptively promote things into main, as it would be cleaned up and demoted straight away essentially.
