I'm not completely sure if the syslog-ng.spec file in the source distribution would work for anyone. Since I don't regularly build rpm using that file, I'm considering to remove it.
Jose, could you perhaps update the spec file based on the fedora packaging and post a patch to do that? Thanks.
I'll give it a try but maintaining a single specfile for the major RPM based distros will be extremely hard to achieve. For instance, for the Fedora Project we are already maintaining several sets of syslog-ng specfiles/configuration files in order to maintain the specfile readable. Up-to-date sets of specfiles/configuration files: 1) one set for Fedora >= 15 with systemd support, and 2) a second set for EPEL6 with sysV initscripts These two sets are already: 1) using slightly different configure options, (with different build requirements) and 2) different configuration files (e.g. systemd service file vs init script) These differences already make it harder to maintain a single specfile (at least a readable one) for Fedora/EPEL systems. Taking in account other RPM based distros like OpenSUSE will only make it worst. The configuration files are easier to handle: we just need to add them to a packaging/ subdirectory. /jpo PS - As Matthias pointed it out, the git repository of syslog-ng specfiles and configuration files is locate here: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=syslog-ng.git It contains branches for all Fedora/EPEL relaeses. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.balabit.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
