Anyway, here's the list for your convenience: <0> - details/debug messages <1> - normal milestone messages <2> - warning <3> - error <5> - exception As for the error reporting in zypper's output, some of it has already been improved (see the upcoming Beta1), but there is still work to be done. But i don't think a low-level error message like "Unsupported kind of FilesystemCapability'filesystem(minix)-64bit'" will be of any help to an ordinary user with not much computer/programming skills. IMO, "Problem loading data from 'asdf' Resolvables from 'asdf' not loaded because of error." is sufficient in normal output. If the user wishes to cope with the problematic repo, depending on his skills he either uses more verbose output (or reads the log) to find out what's the problem, or simply asks for help. So apart from the enhancement request for new marking of log levels in log files, i see this bug as invalid.

As for the enhancement request, we are currently in the situation of having too large logs. Replacing a simple number by any string (for the log levels) would increase the size of the log files even more (e.g. 2xnumber_of_log_lines bytes if tree-letter strings like ERR were used). I'm afraid we can't afford that. Closing as WONTFIX. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
