1) doc/syslog-ng.conf.5
The syslog-ng.conf.5 manpage patch *only* updates the information regarding the Global Options.
Problems: The global option "long_hostnames" is only documented in the contrib/syslog-ng.conf.doc file (not in the SGML file). The global option "check_hostname" is only documented in the SGML file (not in the syslog-ng.conf.doc).
long_hostnames is a deprecated alias for chain_hostnames. syslog-ng.conf.doc is a contributed file, I'm not maintaining it, however I applied your patches.
2) contrib/syslog-ng.conf.doc
The syslog-ng.conf.doc patch corrects the source type of /proc/kmsg (pipe -> file).
Shouldn't this file be better located in the doc directory? (if this file is relocated, the contrib/README file will also need to be updated).
I don't want to maintain it, the authoritive source for syslog-ng related information is the SGML based documentation, although certainly having an up to date manpage is nice. -- Bazsi
