Comment (by meskio):

 Replying to [comment:33 bertagaz]:
 > Actually you might be raising an interesting point in favor of keeping
 logdir (which was the historical name in tahoe) rather than switching to
 logfile, as incidents_dir is using the value of the first one if set to
 compute its own value. That is how I understand it. Switching to logfile
 might introduce more complexity into the patch (and probably elsewhere),
 for not so much gain IMHO. I think the patches are quite good at the
 moment.

 the end?

 The parameter --logdir is introduced by my patches. There was already some
 internal variables with name 'logdir', that is why I used the name.

 I think --logdir is simpler than --logfile, because it allows us to reuse
 the concept to compute 'incidents_dir'. But it's true that if you have
 several nodes you will need different folders for the logs. Using
 --logfile (so specify the file name) will allow to have the log files of
 all the nodes in the same folder just with different names. But then we
 might need to add an extra parameter to create-node to be able to set the
 incidents_dir.

 I don't have an strong opinion about it. bertagaz, you did more thinking
 about how all that will fit in debian, do you prefer one option on top of
 the other? What is your opinion leif?

 In case that we go for --logdir the patches are ready for another review.
