OK, I guess I just don't quite get it :-)

I see that it allows one to configure whether or not stuff is logged
to /run/var/bootlog.  I think the comments in your original email mean
that:

1) Logging to /run/var/bootlog is pointless in the LFS-systemd branch
because systemd logs everything to the journal.  In which case, this new
setting should be set to 0 by default (probably via a sed in whichever
section ends up installing init-functions in that branch)

2) Logging to /run/var/bootlog is useful in LFS trunk/sysvinit,
therefore it should be set to 1 by default (i.e. in init-functions as
supplied by lfs-bootscripts).

So, in short, I'm not sure that the patch is necessary, assuming I've
understood the rationale correctly.  We'll be supplying init-functions
outside of the main lfs-bootscripts package in the systemd branch, I
think, and therefore can rip the logging out of that file at that point,
I think.  For the copy of init-functions in lfs-bootscripts, I don't
know why anyone would not want stuff logged, unless they want the added
debugging headaches when things go wrong :-)

Thanks for any clarification :=)

Matt.
