Apache Log4j is a Java-based logging utility. It consists of several modules the most important which of are already available as packages in Gentoo:


These packages do not yet have tests enabled because of still missing dependencies, e.g. bug #829070, bug #833456. Engaged hackers are welcome to make themselves familiar with the Gentoo Java Packing Policy and pullrequest their contributions.

Installation

The log4j-* packages like libraries in general are pulled-in by their reverse dependencies so that there is no need to emerge them directly and recording them in /var/lib/portage/world is a bad idea.

USE flags

USE flags are the same as for most java packages.

USE flags for dev-java/log4j-api The Apache Log4j API

doc Add extra documentation (API, Javadoc, etc). It is recommended to enable per package instead of globally
source Zip the sources and install them
test Enable dependencies and/or preparations necessary to run tests (usually controlled by FEATURES=test but can be toggled independently)
verify-sig Verify upstream signatures on distfiles

USE flags for dev-java/log4j-core The Apache Log4j Implementation

doc Add extra documentation (API, Javadoc, etc). It is recommended to enable per package instead of globally
source Zip the sources and install them
test Enable dependencies and/or preparations necessary to run tests (usually controlled by FEATURES=test but can be toggled independently)

USE flags for dev-java/log4j-12-api The Apache Log4j 1.x Compatibility API
