Re: Trimming priority:standard

Hi, from personal experience, I agree that the packages with priority standard need to be reconsidered. I don't really care about bc, dc, w3m and similar tools - I never use then, but then, they only need a few KiB so I wouldn't mind if they were installed nontheless. However, there are 4 packages

Re: logcheck rules for systemd

Hi, couldn't logcheck get much more clever on a systemd-enabled system? After all, the priorities are preserved, so everything of priority "info" or lower could be ignored automatically - and only warnings and errors considered further. Actually that's one of the reasons why I am looking forward t
