Description : C++ library for flexible logging
Log for C++ is a library of C++ classes for flexible logging to files,
syslog and other destinations. Orocos-log4cpp is maintained by Orocos
developers. This version of log4cpp deviates from the official release
by adding custom category factories. Orocos requires this for setting
up real-time logging.
- why is this package useful/relevant? is it a dependency for
another package?
Yes, orocos-ocl that belongs to orocos-toolchain (as project)
- do you use it? if there are other packages providing similar functionality,
how does it compare?
We use it in our lab. Yes, we have another version in debian of the same.
This is a fork, with more capabilities of log4cpp.
I have tried to convince upstream to fusion both projects. Also I have tried
to do it myself, but I was not able to that. The orocos developers have
design their fork in the way that could be co-installabled, because they
have increased the SONAME. However, the -dev package is not co-installable
with the original one.
Also, I have renamed this version with orocos-log4cpp.
- how do you plan to maintain it? inside a packaging team (check list at
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams)?
Inside debian-science team. I have done a preliminary work in:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-science/packages/orocos/log4cpp.git
- are you looking for co-maintainers? do you need a sponsor?
Yes, both. Any help will be welcome. All orocos-toolkit is a complex piece
of software.
