Description

To filter trac log entries and store them in a separate log file with syslog-type logging, the syslog facility must be configurable. Otherwise, trac log entries cannot be distinguished from other log entries using the same facility. Using file-type logging is not an option for me, as I don't know how to safely rotate the resulting log files.

Therefore, I wrote a patch to configure the syslog facility and the syslog socket using the new options log_facility and log_socket for syslog-type logging. log_facility is needed to distinguish trac log entries from other application's log entries. log_socket is needed for operating systems where the syslog socket is not named /dev/log.
