[pkg-tasktools] Bug#1012546: clog: Please implement extended regular expressions with -E command line switch

[Patrik Schindler]

Package: clog
Version: 1.3.0-1+b1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream

As said in the subject: Please implement extended regular expressions with -E
command line switch.

I've finished cleanup of some logcheck rules and wanted to use clog for adding
helpful colors. Unfortunately, I need to rework those rules from extended regex
to normal regex syntax. This essentially doubles work.

Thanks for considering.
