I've attached a spec file that makes building and installing syslog-ng 1.6.0rc1 on Redhat quite a bit easier. Once the rpm files are built, all that is required is a service syslog stop chkconfig --del syslog chkconfig --add syslog-ng service syslog-ng start I've altered the spec file (i also fixed a typo in the source: url) and added the necessary files (/etc/sysconfig/syslog-ng) to be able to use the supplied init script (as found in the contrib directory) Hopefully this can get into the next version so i can stop giving my client a custom build :) If there are any problems, please report them to me.
