[systemd-devel] Native Journal source vs syslog forwarding

[Martin Pitt]

Hey Gergely,

I'm just packaging systemd 217, and will revert the disabled
forwarding by default (i. e. retain the behaviour of 215). As a
systemd package maintainer I'm also not in a position to unilaterally
changing the default and breaking rsyslog and friends. So this
requires some coordination indeed (and either way, none of this is a
matter for the frozen jessie).

So we either need the journal.conf.d/ feature and have journal-pulling
sysloggers disable forwarding along the way, or we need to wait until
all packaged sysloggers can read from the journal before we turn off
forwarding by default.

Thanks,

Martin
