It may not be in rawhide but it is part of the test 1 distro.

Err, no.

No system-logviewer here:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/...

No FC4 tag in rpm -qi system-logviewer.

And the final proof:
rawhide report: 20050405 changes:
 Removed package system-logviewer

Ta da!

Oops. I stand corrected. I was wr... wr...  wr... well, you get the
idea.  I did not realize that the entire tree was there.

This is a good question. I forget it is there but when I remeber it is
there it is a pretty handy tool.  It works well over ssh too.

Still in cvs if you need it, but Chris Lumens has planned on re-writing
it for a while now

http://people.redhat.com/clumens/system-logviewer/

I guess you might be able to help, fedora-config-list(a)redhat.com has a
thread about this as well iirc

Is system-logviewer expected to be added back in before FC4 is final?
The one in CVS (0.9.14) seems to be working okay (although I haven't
beaten on it too much)? It has been nice not having to tell new users
that "vi" and "less" are the primary interfaces to FC log files. ;-)

You can also try epylog (in extras). It's not really a "viewer" though.
