Option to disable logging messages #793

Closed Noxbru closed 6 years ago

Noxbru commented 6 years ago

The current behaviour of corebird floods completely the journal.

Please, add an option to disable logging general messages so that the journal can stay clear.

Vistaus commented 6 years ago

It doesn't flood my journal. Also, AFAIK that's a system-wide setting (Solus recently disabled logging to the journal).

What distribution, distribution version and Corebird version do you use?

Noxbru commented 6 years ago

Hi,

I am using Arch linux with corebird-git from AUR at commit https://github.com/baedert/corebird/commit/d3cc0b068b4f3b1d0d97e4bd7c9e723d002636c1

I have just started my laptop (uptime says that it has been up 12 min) and I already have 232 lines from corebird in my logs (checked with journalctl -b0 | grep corebird | wc -l)

Some excerpts:

Those are debugging messages, they only get printed of you built corebird with --enable-debug or set the G_MESSAGES_DEBUG env var to either corebird or all. I have no problem running it without getting debugging output.

Hi,

I have just rebuilt corebird from master and I still get them. I have checked that the PKGBUILD does not have the option --enable-debug so it seems that it is on by default.

Here's the PKGBUILD https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=corebird-git#n37

baedert commented 6 years ago

That PKGBUILD uses the meson build which defaults to debugging. --enable-debug is the option for the autotools build.

Noxbru commented 6 years ago

So, we are getting different behaviour depending if we use autotools or meson?

baedert commented 6 years ago

Yes. It's not like I ever advertised the meson build though.

Noxbru commented 6 years ago

I'm not the maintainer of the PKGBUILD so I don't know why (s)he chose to change it to meson.

Closing. (Although probably it would be good to make meson and autotools compile corebird both in the same way)
