There is a (utterly undocumented) new utility that I just added to 
REL_1_2_STABLE and HEAD. It is called slony_logshipper and will be 
released with 1.2.12 as soon as somebody fixes the documentation problem 
of it.

As the name suggests, it is a utility that can be used (eventually by 
using slon's option -x) to pick up slony log archives (caused by option 
-a). It can currently do limited archive file processing, like filtering 
out a table, or an entire namespace, or renaming a table or an entire 
namespace. It can write the result into another file, or it can open a 
database connection and apply all resulting queries.

It can also issue pre- and post-processing commands like compressing or 
removing the archive file (or just throw it over the fence via scp).

So if anyone was thinking about developing some crude shell scripts that 
do anything with the log archives ... maybe you don't any more.
