Yeah, I noticed that spam along with the spam that is being
spewed to /var/log/messaage, e.g.,
Dec 21 10:27:28 laptop-kargl pkg-static: libwpg-0.2.2 installed
Dec 21 10:31:15 laptop-kargl pkg-static: libcdr-0.0.14 installed
Dec 21 10:32:35 laptop-kargl pkg-static: openjpeg-1.5.0_2 installed
Dec 21 10:38:33 laptop-kargl pkg-static: poppler-data-0.4.6 installed
Dec 21 10:39:48 laptop-kargl pkg-static: poppler-0.22.2 installed
Dec 21 10:40:32 laptop-kargl pkg-static: ilmbase-2.1.0 installed

Can you (portmgr) please mute these messages?

This received several responses.

Do you really feel that strongly about it? Having a record of changes to
the system has always seemed like a feature to me...

this has been done and activated for reason, first for lot of companies,
it is important (PCI DSS requirement for example), secondly I receive tons
of request to actiavte on by default while you are the first to request it
off by default
Adrian Chadd said:
The point is that some people like an audit trail. The audit trail for
some people involves remote logging of syslog messages to a log host.
This would include when packages are installed.
My thought:
Then why can't the messages about installed ports have it's own log file
rather than /var/log/messages?
As for this message:
pkg: PACKAGESITE in pkg.conf is deprecated. Please create a repository
configuration file
Glen Barber replied:
echo 'SYSLOG: no' >> /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf
And Shane Ambler:
now we can turn it off which I don't think we could before.
Me again:
Where is this documented?
/root # man pkg.conf
No manual entry for pkg.conf
