    Hi,

    I have a open-source-c++-project tntnet, which uses a logging-library
    log4cplus. I just upgraded one pc from woody to sarge and found out, that
    there is log4cpp available. First I thought, I can switch, but then found out
    that log4cpp is a bad decision. It can't read propertyfiles, it might lack
    support for multithreaded applications (added with development-version 0.3.0)
    and worse: It is not in active development. The current maintainer Bastiaan
    Bakker is looking for a new maintainer (http://sourceforge.net/forum/
    forum.php?forum_id=349806).

    The most active and promising project is log4cxx. I is now part of the
    logging-project of apache. The latest release 0.9.7 is released 2004-05-10.
    It is thread safe and it reads propertyfiles as well as
    xml-configurationfiles.

    Are there any chances to replace log4cpp with log4cxx in sarge (I think sarge
    is still work in progress)? Are there any applications, which depends on
    log4cpp? Can I help port these applications to log4cxx?

    It would be really great, if we get a standard for logging in c++.
