ANN: syslog-ng 3.3 & 3.4 debian package news
Hi! I'd like to give a quick heads up regarding the syslog-ng deb packages I provide[1]: I recently pushed out a new version, 3.3.4.dfsg-1~mhp1, which is based on the 3.3.4 release, with one patch applied. It's available for all the usual Debian and Ubuntu platforms, except kfreebsd-*, see below. Based on my download logs, I'm the only user of the kfreebsd-* packages, and I only use them on one system: the buildd. So I'm going to drop those arches, and provide i386, amd64 and powerpc only. If I missed anyone, who'd like to have the kfreebsd debs around, please let me know, and I'll keep them around! For now, the older 3.3.3 packages are still available, but the newest 3.3.4 release has not been compiled for these two platforms, and unless there's at least one more user, I plan to remove kfreebsd-* from my repo during the next two weeks. Also, since syslog-ng 3.4 is starting to have interesting features that 3.3 does not, I plan to start offering debian packages for this version too, as soon as alpha1 is released (or perhaps earlier, if I grow too impatient). They will be available separately, and those of you who use my syslog-ng 3.3 packages won't get automatic upgrades to 3.4. Those who will want to try the 3.4 debs, the planned sources.list lines will follow this template: deb http://packages.madhouse-project.org/$VENDOR $RELEASE syslog-ng/experimental For example: deb http://packages.madhouse-project.org/debian squeeze syslog-ng/experimental Upgrades from 3.3 should be smooth and painless, at least I'll try my best. Also, if one would like to see any other architecture, release or perhaps even another derivative distribution supported, speak up, and I'll see what I can do! -- |8]
