[Log4cpp-devel] Joining/merging the different log4c** implementations?

[Palic, D. <dar...@gm...>]

Hello list,

I love log4j and log4net. And I would like to love log4c**. BUT, there 
are at least 3 implementations I found for log4c**. Right now I am using 
log4cxx from apache.org. I would like to be able to use the same logging 
configurations for the my different application types. Isn't is perfect 
to configure the logging in every major language in the same way? Isn't 
it a really nice option to change the log level by changing a simple 
config file? And isn't it nice to do it in the same way in java, c# or 
c/c++?

But what I am trying to address with this mail?
log4cxx seems to be dead (no responses of developers, patches of user 
aren't integrated for a long time, no commits since a very long time). I 
decided to check also some alternative. I was looking into the log4cpp 
repository and this also seems to be dead.
So I was wondering if there are more projects implementing log4c**. I've 
found log4cplus, this seems to be a "sort of active".

Now I am wondering why it is necessary to maintain 3 projects which have 
the same idea. Wouldn't it be more efficient for all projects, if the 
available contributors and developers would maintain one and the same 
project? So I am wondering if it wouldn't be possible to merge the 
projects into one sourcetree? Lets say a new log4cpp which has all 
features and enhancements of all log4c** projects.

What can I provide?
I could provide Build-Servers and a Continuous Build environment for 
building and testing the project sources. I can also provide some 
patches against log4cxx. And I can provide my effort to for merging the 
projects into one log4cpp project.

Are here some developers and contributors which are willing to join the 
"merge-project" of the current log4c**?

bye,
Darko
