[gentoo-dev] gluelog ebuild?

[Casey Allen Shobe - SeattleServer Mailing Lists]

I was browsing about the web when I stumbed across this:
http://64.233.179.104/search?q=cache:QHsFgaiiddIJ:www.geocrawler.com/mail/msg.php3%3Fmsg_id%3D5589243+dcron+multilog&hl=en&ie=UTF-8

...which seems to hint that in Gentoo's younger days, a supported logging 
configuration was supported using multilog from daemontools, plus something 
called gluelog.

...to me this seems terribly exciting.  I don't like syslog, and have been 
using metalog quite happily for some time, but would much rather get 
everything using multilog which I like even more.

So, I typed in "emerge gluelog" and realized quickly that this package is not 
maintained and should probably be masked, as it creates /etc/rc.d, and puts 
init scripts in /etc/rc.d/init.d, which does not exist on a modern Gentoo 
system.

But I would like to know if the ebuild could be maintained or how else a 
multilog-based system could be created?

Cheers,

Well actually, it works fine, if you just add /etc/rc.d to INSTALL_MASK and 
manually link /var/lib/supervise/services/* into /service.

Unfortunately, this just means that all my logs are consolidated into one 
(in /var/log/syslog.d/current).  Is there a way with the gluelog/multilog 
combo to split up the messages into different files like metalog?

Probably filing a bug with a new ebuild is the best route to get it
updated.
