This moves the /var/log/README content out of /var and into the docs location, replacing the previous file with a symlink created through a tmpfiles.d entry.

You are looking for the traditional text log files in /var/log, and they are
|
|
gone?
|
|
|
|
Here's an explanation on what's going on:
|
|
|
|
You are running a systemd-based OS where traditional syslog has been replaced
|
|
with the Journal. The journal stores the same (and more) information as classic
|
|
syslog. To make use of the journal and access the collected log data simply
|
|
invoke "journalctl", which will output the logs in the identical text-based
|
|
format the syslog files in /var/log used to be. For further details, please
|
|
refer to journalctl(1).
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, consider installing one of the traditional syslog
|
|
implementations available for your distribution, which will generate the
|
|
classic log files for you. Syslog implementations such as syslog-ng or rsyslog
|
|
may be installed side-by-side with the journal and will continue to function
|
|
the way they always did.
|
|
|
|
Thank you!
