Any 'bake' command fails when using log4r v1.1.11 (log4r v1.1.10 works)

Looks like others are seeing this too: colbygk/log4r#24 (comment)

[sethvargo]

Sigh. Well, not only did they break semver, but they changed from GLP to BSD. Any suggestions for log4r alternatives?

[ghost]

@sethvargo I been using Yell recently.

[sethvargo]

@carmstrong after some rants, they've yanked the latest version, so stove should continue working. I'm going to leave this open an investigate switching to something else (like Yell).

[carmstrong]

@sethvargo sounds good. Maybe it's worth adding a version constraint < 1.1.11 in case they break it again?

[carmstrong]

@mitchellh did in hashicorp/vagrant@177bfc1

[sethvargo]

@carmstrong if you'd like to issue a PR for that, I'd accept it.

[carmstrong]

@sethvargo #13

[sethvargo]

This was "fixed" in 892e5d4, but leaving open because reasons I said above.

[sethvargo]

@carmstrong I thought about this more, and I really like log4r. I tried yell, and I wasn't super happy with the DSL. I'm going to stick to log4r.
