sstream-mirror --log-file option seems to do nothing

[Jeff Lane ]

according to the help output (there is no manpage for sstream-mirror), --log-file should, as far as I can tell, create an output log.

Thus this:

sstream-mirror --keyring=/usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-cloudimage-keyring.gpg \
        --max=1 --log-file $CLOUD_MIRROR/cloud-mirror.log \
        http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/daily/ $CLOUD_MIRROR "arch~($arches)" \
        "release~($target_releases)"

creates a file called cloud-mirror.log, however, that file is empty:

root@ubuntu-8gb-nyc3-01:/srv/cloud# ll
total 20
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Jun 21 20:14 ./
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 21 20:12 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jun 21 20:14 cloud-mirror.log
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 21 20:16 .data/
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 21 20:14 server/
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 21 20:14 streams/

so log-file doesn't seem to actually do anything but open an empty log-file.

it writes to the log at the configured log value.
Add a '-v' and you'll get something there.
its admittedly not a lot.
