When you submit a Change, you are indicating that you want this to be something that Fedora promotes (both from an engineering standpoint and a marketing one). With something like Ganesha, in part because there are other network filesystem implementations that are well-known, it's fairly easily understood that this is an additive change. However, with remote journal logging, there currently exists no mechanism for this (except for dumping syslog, which loses all of the enhanced capabilities of journald) > I am open to adding some text making it explicit that this is a > new technology and probably only suitable for some use cases. > That would make this much more palatable, thank you. > He also writes "particularly since it appears to have been > developed without the input of the journald creators".

This was an impression I got from the discussion thread up to that point. I didn't get a sense that the core journald developers were in agreement with this as the approach (and as noted above, it appeared that this was being pushed as the One True Way to do this). > >> 2) FESCo in general wondered if we advertised this as a change >> if people would see it as the recommended/default way to handle >> remote system logs.

Given that you are contemplating a significant protocol modification, would it make more sense to defer this Change until F22? (that doesn't mean you can't have the code in Fedora, just that we won't market it and push people towards testing it in F21). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEUEARECAAYFAlNjsYcACgkQeiVVYja6o6NPfQCfabj/V6qPx9zdfzXk6Pzc7jB7 ZM0AmMy1sI1g0u0IrVqPugWjeGFVXFo= =hzMC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
