[pve-devel] [PATCH promxox-mail-forward v2] fix logging by switching to proxmox-log

Fri Jun 13 09:54:43 CEST 2025


The proxmox-notify crate now uses tracing for logging, hence we have to
set up some tracing logging infrastructure if we want to see any
messages in the journal. Therefore we switch from the syslog crate to
proxmox-log, which configures the appropriate layers/subscribers for
tracing.
