[GitHub] couchdb pull request #435: Change default to log to a file, not stderr

GitHub user wohali opened a pull request:

    https://github.com/apache/couchdb/pull/435

    Change default to log to a file, not stderr

    Presently our default is to log only to stderr. This is both a deviation
    from couchdb 1.x behaviour as well as unexpected for a service of
    couchdb's stature. This PR defaults output in the 'make release' to
    ./var/log/couchdb.log.


You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running:

    $ git pull https://github.com/apache/couchdb log-file-by-default

Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at:

    https://github.com/apache/couchdb/pull/435.patch

To close this pull request, make a commit to your master/trunk branch
with (at least) the following in the commit message:

    This closes #435

    I have since learned that it is increasingly common for services like systemd to gather and manage log files on its own. As such this change may be unpopular given modern trends in UNIX. I'm hoping to gather more feedback on the approach before making a merge/no-merge decision here.

    Why not to keep default stderr, while allow to provide a path to logfile on configure? This will satisfy both groups needs.
