Removing syslog-ng etc from base?

Now that we have systemd, which I believe does things like syslog and cron, will these packages be removed from base?

Re: Removing syslog-ng etc from base?

Good suggestion, but posting to the forums offers little chance that the package maintainer will see it.  Open a bug report against the package for direct delivery wink

EDIT:  I'm guessing this won't happen until the official move to systemd but it never hurts to make a placeholder in the flyspray system.

Indeed. Closing...

Yes we still haven't officially moved to systemd, so those packages will stay until initscripts stays. Also I would advice against opening phantom bugs or placeholder bugs. Open one when we actually move to systemd and if the dev hasn't removed the said packages from the base.

why?

If syslog-ng is removed from base shouldnt the same be done for logrotate? I dont think its capable of working with systemd's journal, is it?

if syslog-ng is remover from base but not from core I think
but this need a new release of filesystem adding /var/log/journal

for chron is sooo early

and fedora want switch too aparently


Well, I suppose that this is somekind of signature, no?

no, there're logs that are not handled by syslog (e.g. kdm.log)

Actually, we have. What does the word "official" mean in your context?

As far as I am concerned, cron will stay - systemd does not provide a full cron replacement and I don't think that is planned.

yeah I was corrected by Andrea in an earlier post, which is why I re-opened this thread.

If logging is now done by systemd can I remove syslog-ng service?

Re: Removing syslog-ng etc from base?

I kept around syslong-ng for a while after switching.  Systemd being new territory for me, it seemes I should keep around familiar stuff until I deemed it not necessary.  But syslog-ng was one of the first things to go, since journalctl made it seem super redundant.
