> Hi Maarten,
> I checked the review comments and there are quite few things I don't fully know/understand. It is spoken about rotation logic at some time. What does it mean exactly ?

That's about adding the date to the filename. We don't want to become
like logrotate. Just use the filename given by
--log-target=file:filename

> And Lennart used the "s-o-b" acronym; what does it mean ? ("we don't do s-o-b btw"). I fully agree with the changes proposed and will do them and resend (1 or 2 ?) patches. It should be Ok for the patch generation, I will dig the subject.

signed-off-by: we don't use that here, that's more of a kernel thing.

> However the second one needs still to wait to be reviewed, right ?

Yeah, so make the first patch a complete implementation of the logging
to fd, but without any reworking of the way the log messages are
formatted, etc. Then if there are any problems with the second patch,
the first can still be applied to master.
