Any reason why log files are not in "standard" gzip format?

(I posted this question last year, but never heard back an answer so I am re-posting again, this time on the devel list) I understand why the cpool files are compressed using zlib with a twist so that you can also save the checksums. But why do the log files have to be in a format that can't be read with standard unix tools? Especially since the system logs sit in /var/log along with all the other files that get compressed with either gzip or bzip2. That would seem to be easier than being forced to either open a web browser or enter the full path to /usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_zcat as it is stored on my system. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Join us December 9, 2009 for the Red Hat Virtual Experience, a free event focused on virtualization and cloud computing.
