hi, Could you post some clarification on syslog-ng 1.9 as FAQ entries? Thanks in advance. Q: As it seems syslog-ng 1.9.x requires GTK which my platform does not support. Is it really the future of the product? A: No, syslog-ng does not require GTK, nor Gnome. It only depends on GLib, the low-level parts of GTK/Gnome. GLib on its own does not provide/require GUI functionality, it only contains general C utility functions which implement the most important data structures like hashtables, lists and the like. GLib itself is very portable, it works flawlessly on various Linux distributions, BSDs and commercial UNIX versions (Solaris, HP-UX for sure) as well. Q: Syslog-ng 1.9.x requires glib and eventlog which reside in /usr, thus cannot be used on systems where /usr is mounted during boot time, after syslog-ng starts. A: The latest snapshots (and future releases) of syslog-ng 1.9 links to GLib and EventLog statically, thus it will not require those libraries to be present at boot time. Q: I miss this/that very important feature from syslog-ng 1.9 while it was present in syslog-ng 1.6. A: syslog-ng 1.9 is a complete reimplementation of syslog-ng and even though I plan to make it upward compatible with syslog-ng 1.6, I might have forgotten something. So please post to the mailing list either if you find missing or incompatible features. -- Bazsi
