Greetings all:

(Although it looks like this list is mostly populated by devs,  the descriptor describes it as a user mailiong list as well, so I hope this message is OK here.  If not, my apologies, and hopefully I can be re-directed.)

I've had minor experience with personal experimentation with syslog-ng in a simple Redhat enviroment, where all I had to do was download the package.   However, I'm trying to encourage my work environment to move to syslog-ng in our production environment.

My work enivo consists of some AIX boxes, versions 5.3L, 6.x, and now 7.1.   I believe our AIX team would be comfortable deploying standard packages, however, from what I can see in the evaluation section, it looks like the latest AIX packages I see is syslog-ng-2.0.10-1.aix5.2.ppc  I see packages for other distros, but I think that is all for AIX..

From what I know, our AIX team doesn't typically build and complile, the mostly install and run pre-packaged items on them, such as webservers, databases, etc.  In my poking around, I see that there is active development with AIX in mind, but if I am understanding correctly, there are no current AIX packaged distros --- they have to be built by the end user.

Is this correct?  Can we purchase compiled packages and binaries for our environment?   Or is compiling a build/package something that is trivial? (I suspect not).    For now, these boxes would only really be "clients", if that makes any difference at all.    And if I am wrong, and should be looking elsewhere for more recent AIX binaries/packages I would really appreciate a point in the right direction.  I'd really be grateful for some guidance here.  


At this point, I'd be remiss not to thank all the folks behind the project.  From my  personal usage, its clear what a phenomenal project this is.  


Thanks much,

d.
