[Koha-devel] Improving Zebra logging

[Barton Chittenden]

Just because I remembered this conversation, and ended up looking this up,
Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=15714
enhancement, P5 - low, ---, m.de.rooy, Pushed to Master , Remove zebra.log
from debian scripts and add optional log levels

This should be released in 16.05, and adds the ability to set the zebra log
level via the <zebra_loglevels> directive in $KOHA_CONF.

Thanks to all involved.
