At this point, I take this as an experiment: if publishing fixes this way "works" (e.g. fixes get published in the OS packages that we don't maintain ourselves), then we can get some form of maintenance to older open source releases as time permits, with collaboration from our fellow OS maintainers. Also, power users, who are able to compile source code for themselves get help too.
Let me know if this is useful.
I love the idea, of course :-) That being said, and as it's related to the other major fix in the upcoming 3.13.2, I'd love to see this resolved: https://github.com/balabit/syslog-ng/pull/1800 In a nutshell, the elastic-v2 destination silently drops messages when the ES cluster is gone. I think this is serious enough to justify a bugfix release on its own. What's blocking the merge is that I can't get *any* java logs to pop up anywhere, thus I don't see what's wrong with the current implementation of the fix. Sorry for trying to bump this into 3.13.2, but I really think this is important.
