• creating log entries in the installer

    From Marc Haber@21:1/5 to All on Mon Aug 22 21:20:01 2022
    Hi,

    I am currently reworking the dialog parts of adduser and will implement
    some kind of syslog functionality. I guess this might be interesting for
    the installer, having some information about what adduser has done
    during installation.

    As I don't want to pull in a dependency to Sys::Syslog (which in turn
    requires the full perl package while adduser itself is fine with just
    having perl-base), I need to re-invent this particular wheel.

    Is logger(1) available in the installer? Is /dev/log resp /dev/conslog available? What is the recommended way to log during the installation?

    Greetings
    Marc
