log-collect / log-send

[Giannis Galanis]

Pascal,

I have been working on something similar. It is a console script that gather
networks related logs, and will be available in the next joyride.

At the moment it includes:
var/log/messages
var/log/xorg.0.log
/home/olpc.sugar.logs/presenceservice
/home/olpc.sugar.logs/gabble
/home/olpc.sugar.logs/salut
and the following info:
build
firmware
model
time
mac
ips of all interfaces
network topology
jabber server
salut or gabble

The gzipped tar is ~20kb which is pretty low.

However, other tests(for specific activites for ex.) will require other
logs.

I believe that a complete log activity should have a list of options like:
network logs
kernel logs
activities logs
all logs
...so the user can choose according to the problem

also, the activity should be able to enable All Logs, from the .xinitrc,
.sugar.debug files,
or perhaps the full kernel logs.

I was planning to add the above features in my script, but a sugar activity
is better than a console script.
Since we are working on the same thing we can use each other's help, and
create a single application.

yani
