renaming the log file ?

the way i understand it is that the pacman cli utility is nothing more now than a front end to libalpm; just like shaman is a qt4 gui. i just noticed that shaman is logging to pacman.log ... maybe this is just being picky, but shouldnt things be logged to libalpm.log, with the name of whatever front-end application tagged to every log entry ?

personnally i prefer to use the cli utility but im prepared to give shaman another try just for kicks ...

just my two cents.

Re: renaming the log file ?

the logfile is specified in pacman.conf:
#LogFile     = /var/log/pacman.log

shaman is just using the default log file.

EDIT: if you want shaman to have its own logfile, ask the people developping it.
