Hi Michał,
It is true that the socklog package is indeed intended to be deployed
as a replacement for system log daemons such as rsyslogd. This was a
deliberate choice. I am interested in your use-case though, do you use
svlogd/runit at all with socklog?
The current dependencies are quite few really:
Depends: runit, runit-helper (>= 2.10.0~),
sysuser-helper (<< 1.4), libc6 (>= 2.4)
Together these weight about 530K (excluding libc6). A rather large
part of this is in fact man pages and stuff under /usr/share/doc,
which are both often removed from trimmed-down chroots.
Which of these dependencies is bothering you?
Cheers,
