Balazs, I have a couple of requests to make regarding the packaging of the above packages (for Red Hat/Fedora systems). 1) copyright information I believe both packages are being distributed under the GPL license. Could you mention this in the README files and maybe include the COPYING file in the tarballs? 2) the CFLAGS aren't being inherited The CFLAGS generated by the configure files don't honour the environment CFLAGS variable. Small patches are attached to this email. 3) eventlog static lib Would it be possible to also generate the eventlog static library by default? 4) syslog-ng 1.9.2 Would it be possible to also generate a static linked syslog-ng? Right know it only uses dynamic libraries (glib2.so and libevtlog.so). It would be nice to avoid any dynamic libraries located under /usr as the content of this directory can not yet be available (mounted) at the time the daemon syslog-ng is loaded. Best regards, jpo -- José Pedro Oliveira diff -ruN syslog-ng-1.9.2+20050112+1424-orig/configure.in syslog-ng-1.9.2+20050112+1424/configure.in --- syslog-ng-1.9.2+20050112+1424-orig/configure.in 2005-01-05 12:00:11.000000000 +0000 +++ syslog-ng-1.9.2+20050112+1424/configure.in 2005-01-15 03:22:25.989658032 +0000 @@ -71,7 +71,7 @@ PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GLIB, glib-2.0) PKG_CHECK_MODULES(EVTLOG, eventlog) -CFLAGS="-Wall -g" +CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -Wall -g" DEPS_CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS $GLIB_CFLAGS $EVTLOG_CFLAGS" CPPFLAGS="$DEPS_CPPFLAGS -D_GNU_SOURCE" DEPS_LIBS="$LIBS $GLIB_LIBS $EVTLOG_LIBS" diff -ruN eventlog-0.2.2-orig/configure.in eventlog-0.2.2/configure.in --- eventlog-0.2.2-orig/configure.in 2005-01-05 12:02:18.000000000 +0000 +++ eventlog-0.2.2/configure.in 2005-01-15 03:21:00.591640504 +0000 @@ -5,7 +5,7 @@ AM_CONFIG_HEADER(config.h) AM_DISABLE_STATIC -CFLAGS="-Wall -g" +CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -Wall -g" CPPFLAGS="-D_GNU_SOURCE" AC_ARG_ENABLE(dlsym-wrapper,
