logger is part of bsdutils, an «Essential: yes» package, providing inetutils-logger would imply the package has to divert the always installed logger executable. The command line options would need to be compatible (at least from utils-linux → inetutils). I guess you mean IPv6 when you say INET? That's certainly a nice feature, but I'm not sure all the previous drawbacks outweight it. There's also the options of adding IPv6 support (which would be trivial) to util-linux's logger. thanks, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
