Building syslog-ng from source posed a few problems, one of them being debian/syslog-ng.init that missed a crucial option:
The debian/ directory in the current syslog-ng source is useless and should not be used. It is only there for historical reasons and because internal tools here at BalaBit depend on it. I'm working on making it possible to drop it, along with the RPM .spec file and other unmaintained packaging bits. (I will likely add a note to all of them, until they can be dropped.) If you want to build a proper debian package, please use the packaging/debian/3.5 branch from my repository: https://github.com/algernon/syslog-ng/tree/packaging/debian/3.5 (Similar branch exists for 3.3 and 3.4, if you want those instead.) The debian/README.source file in that tree explains how to build a package out of it. -- |8]
