3.8 RHEL 6 packaging
Hi, I think, that RHEL / CentOS 6 is ancient, but still I ask: is there anyone who needs syslog-ng 3.8 packaged for this old Linux release? Bye, Peter Czanik (CzP) <peter.czanik@balabit.com> Balabit / syslog-ng upstream http://czanik.blogs.balabit.com/ https://twitter.com/PCzanik

you know we do (sorry :-))
OK. Once I have a working FreeBSD port, I'll also package it for RHEL6. Bye, Peter Czanik (CzP) <peter.czanik@balabit.com> Balabit / syslog-ng upstream http://czanik.blogs.balabit.com/ https://twitter.com/PCzanik On Mon, Aug 1, 2016 at 11:08 AM, Fabien Wernli <wernli@in2p3.fr> wrote:

<3 While you're at it, you can enable riemann and have java depend on %{version}-%{release} :-)
I would like to continue to see RHEL 6 support. While ancient, RedHat continues to support RHEL6, and will do so as part of their OS support (which you pay for) for 10 years. If you opt for Extended support you can get patches even farther out.. I'd think if you want to target/support Enterprise customers, making packages available during entirety of the product support lifecycle from the vendor would be ideal. https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata (hopefully this link is available to non-customers) If the previous link isn't available to non-customers, try this one: https://linuxlifecycle.com/ For RHEL 6 the current Production 2 lifecycle ends in 2017, with Production 3 support ending in 2020. I believe Centos continues to get upstream patches during those 10 years as well. Hope this helps. Jonathan Kaufman | DevOps Engineer | Foot Locker Inc.
