log4cpp



Hi,

I have a open-source-c++-project tntnet, which uses a logging-library 
log4cplus. I just upgraded one pc from woody to sarge and found out, that 
there is log4cpp available. First I thought, I can switch, but then found out 
that log4cpp is a bad decision. It can't read propertyfiles, it might lack 
support for multithreaded applications (added with development-version 0.3.0) 
and worse: It is not in active development. The current maintainer Bastiaan 
Bakker is looking for a new maintainer (http://sourceforge.net/forum/
forum.php?forum_id=349806).

The most active and promising project is log4cxx. I is now part of the 
logging-project of apache. The latest release 0.9.7 is released 2004-05-10. 
It is thread safe and it reads propertyfiles as well as 
xml-configurationfiles.

Are there any chances to replace log4cpp with log4cxx in sarge (I think sarge 
is still work in progress)? Are there any applications, which depends on 
log4cpp? Can I help port these applications to log4cxx?

It would be really great, if we get a standard for logging in c++.
