Description Jóhann B. Guðmundsson 2013-02-04 17:10:20 UTC

Description of problem:

As I briefly discussed on QA meeting. 

It probably would be nice if Anaconda would enabled the existing systemd journald-gateway ( at least during the development cycle ) to access the journal via HTTP and JSON so log out put could be fetch for automatic/unattended test installs

If this is the sort of thing that ought to be set as default, we prefer it to be set as the default in the package itself.  We don't want anaconda to be a store of special-purpose knowledge and hacks.

Comment 2 Kay Sievers 2013-02-05 16:17:03 UTC

Systemd cannot enable anything like that by default. It's under development,
and not supposed to be used by any ordinary user at this moment. It's still
a long way to go, and we will not be quite there for F19.

I was specifically requesting it to be enabled in anaconda ( since it's running it's own target ) not in the distribution in general but if you dont see the benefit of being able to harvest logs from anaconda via http during the development cycle via automated installation test ( you know something that AutoQA could take advantage of ) I wont pursue it further.

Comment 4 Kay Sievers 2013-02-05 22:22:04 UTC

I totally see the benefit in general, but we should not offer any unfinished
interfaces to the public, also not in anaconda.

It's not only insecure by default, it might also change its interfaces in
the future. It should not be exposed in its current state, only developers
or very specific setups, which are aware of the risks, should use it.

We'll get there when it's ready.
