[opensuse-factory] Well known /var/log/boot.msg even with systemd
Hi, during debugging I've missed the /var/log/boot.msg therefore I've written a replacment for /etc/init.d/boot.klog as well as for the current symbolic link /lib/systemd/system/klog.service which currently points forward to /dev/null. I'd like to suppose the attached replacment for this link. With this service file the well known /var/log/boot.msg will be created. By using dmesg(1) the normal kernel and boot messages handled by systemd will not disappear.

Sounds good.
I'll integrate it in my next push for Base:System systemd.

After thinking again, it is probably better to put the file into klogd
package.
I'll remove the /dev/null symlink from systemd package and I let you put
the service file in klogd package.

I'm currently thinking about splitting klogd package into two parts one for klogd it's self and one for the script/unit files for the various system loggers. Also we should enable the builtin klog of syslog-ng as with this only the old syslogd would require the old klogd package. Marius? What do you think about?
