New subject: syslog-ng 3.10 fedora/rhel/centos packages

19 Jul 2017

      Hello,

this is taken from syslog-ng 3.8.1 change log:
"Minimal version of libdbi is set to 0.9.0"

Correct me if I am wrong, but latest version of libdbi on CentOS 6.X is
0.8.3.
How is syslog-ng 3.9 the latest compatible version with older CentOS distro?

Just tested, 3.10.1 does not compile on RHEL 6 (well, in practice the
latest CentOS 6.X). It fails with:

  CCLD     modules/dbparser/pdbtool/pdbtool
./lib/.libs/libsyslog-ng.so: undefined reference to `g_atomic_pointer_add'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [modules/dbparser/pdbtool/pdbtool] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

So, currently 3.9 is the latest syslog-ng compiling on old distros.

Making sure, that syslog-ng compiles on old distros is on the roadmap of
the team. Compiling on FreeBSD was fixed right after the 3.10 release, I
hope RHEL 6 / SLES 11 will also compile again soon.

Hi,

I'll check RHEL 6 later this week. Personally I tested on SLES 11, as
(open)SUSE is my primary testing platform. RHEL 6 might work, at least the
later versions, as glib was updated. See https://github.com/balabit/
syslog-ng/issues/1403 for some background info.

RHEL 6 still has 2 years in the normal support lifecycle and even more if a
extended support is purchased. IMHO syslog-ng should strive to have a
current release that still compiles on these platforms until at least the
end of standard support (2020).

hi,

Until now my unofficial syslog-ng 3.10 packages for Fedora / RHEL 7 /
CentOS 7 were available from my "githead" repo. Today I created a dedicated
3.10 repository, as I plan to use the githead repo for creating builds from
git HEAD again.

It is available at https://copr.fedorainfracloud.
