I’ve been writing this package over the last few weeks as a way to get to know package and publishing mechanics (as well as to provide file logging without having to set it up for each individual project 🙂 ).

You can find it here:

The loggers feature timestamps and logging origin, logging based on individual LogLevels and ability to “clamp” LogLevels by logging to `devnull` (and it’s platform specific equivalents in case of the `FileLogger`). The precise message format is probably going to change over the next few releases, as I plan to add more functionality (such as a custom log message format).

The PR to METADATA.jl is still ongoing, so it’ll be a few days until it gets in there.

@Sukera, I have just submitted a pull request for an additional logger.  
It’s called MultifilesLogger and it allows to declare multiple files.  
Every file can be associated to several modules.  
If a module is not explicitely associated to a log file there is a mechanism that tries to fall back to the log file of a parent module. This makes MultifilesLogger robust and permissive.
