Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: rootskel
This bug depends on Launchpad bug #184126. Please read #184126 for more
information.
Hi,
I have a compelling use case that requires that I have automated remote
syslogging capability in the Debian-Installer, as I need to be able to
get installation telemetry and status information from remote installs.
Attached to this bug is a debdiff patch to the rootskel source package
that allows for syslogd to be started in the Debian-Installer with
remote logging support.
It works in the following way from the isolinux/pxelinux bootloader:
install log_host=10.0.2.2 log_port=${my_special_logging_port}
expert log_host=loghost.localdomain
This is probably most useful to systems administrators and engineers who
are engaging in mass- and remote-deployment applications of Ubuntu
server and workstation.
I have tested this out with the latest Debian-Installer, and everything
appears to work as expected. I plan on submitting this upstream into
Debian within the next few weeks. Since the code freeze for the Hardy
Heron release is fast I approaching, I am submitting this patch to
Ubuntu first in hopes that it can be ushered in very quickly. I will be
working with my friends involved with Debian project to get this
included in the near future to keep the amount of delta between the two
projects low.
Let me know if you have any questions. Let's do what we can to get this
incorporated relatively quickly.
Cheers,
Matt
