Make up2date logfile configurable (or log to mrepo log)

[fff7878]

Hello,
Each time I launch mrepo (version 0.8.7), a log file named /root/up2date.log is created. It contains the following:
[root~]# cat /root/up2date.log
[Mon Oct 24 21:00:09 2011] up2date logging into up2date server
[Mon Oct 24 21:00:16 2011] up2date successfully retrieved authentication token from up2date server
[Mon Oct 24 21:00:41 2011] up2date logging into up2date server
[Mon Oct 24 21:00:48 2011] up2date successfully retrieved authentication token from up2date server

What do I have to configure to get rid of this file?

Thanks in advance,

According to the up2date code, it checks if /var/log/up2date is writable. If it does not have write-access, it dumps its logging into ~/up2date.log.

In fact we could make this configurable for those users that like to put it somewhere else.

mental note: cfg['logFile']

BTW I noticed you are running as root, so in this case you probably need to touch /var/log/up2date

I guess we can fix the code to create the file if it doesn't exist.

Thanks a lot, issue corrected.
I didn't took the time to look in up2date code.
It could be cool to configure the path, so that mrepo logs and up2date logs are in the same file.

I still like to keep this issue as a feature request.
