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