It looks like we are both tackling the same problems. Actually I wish I had known about your work previously as it would have saved me some time.
Anyway, I think the important thing now is to get a new spec file and init script into the syslog-ng source tarball. It looks like this is generated via autoconf so it needs to be converted to syslog-ng.spec.in (just put a couple substitutions in there).
My big concern about the existing spec file in the tarball is it is seriously broken. For example, it edits the existing syslog rotate file. Changing another package's file like that is bad.
And as far as the init script goes, I think we should put yours in the contrib directory and remove the two existing old and outdated Redhat init scripts.
I've reviewed your source rpm and init script, and they incorporate all the fixes I need.
Sounds fine, can you send me the exact files I should add and where? I'm not that good at RPM packaging.
If you agree, I will send you the following files: * a libol specfile patch (minor update) * four files for the syslog-ng contrib directory fedora.init fedora.conf fedora.sysconfig fedora.logrotate * syslog-ng specfile Regards, jpo -- José Pedro Oliveira * mailto: jpo@di.uminho.pt * http://gsd.di.uminho.pt/~jpo * * gpg fingerprint = F9B6 8D87 859D 1C94 48F0 84C0 9749 9EB5 91BD 851B *
