I think this is a great idea, as long as it doesnt get abused. There are quite a lot of log handling packages anyways, although would there be enough to warrant a new category as well as a new herd? My brief suggestion of packages which would be good for this: app-admin/analog app-admin/cronolog app-admin/fetchlog app-admin/klogview app-admin/logmon app-admin/logrotate app-admin/logsentry app-admin/metalog app-admin/modlogan app-admin/newsyslog app-admin/phpsyslogng app-admin/socklog app-admin/sysklogd app-admin/syslog-ng app-admin/ulog-acctd app-admin/ulogd app-misc/logserial net-firewall/fwanalog net-mail/qlogtools net-mail/qmailanalog sys-apps/gluelog sys-apps/logwatch x11-misc/paralogger Regards, John -- Role: Gentoo Linux Kernel Lead Gentoo Linux: http://www.gentoo.org Public Key: gpg --recv-keys 9C745515 Key fingerprint: A0AF F3C8 D699 A05A EC5C 24F7 95AA 241D 9C74 5515
