[Logcheck-devel] Bug#475553: not fixable with current logcheck

[martin f krafft]

tags 475553 wontfix
thanks

While I completely agree that this /should/ be fixed in logcheck, it
can't be, since the logcheck rulefile format *sucks*, meaning
/every/ rule would have to be extended to support both styles.

I am sorry, but I have to mark this wontfix.

I hope that one day, someone will get up and write logfilter, which
I've started to draft on the wiki.logcheck.org page. With logfilter,
rules use patterns that can be extended or configured in a single
location, and also add tags for fine-grained selection of which
rules apply.
