Hello List,

Am currently testing 2.0.2.. while building the RPM i noticed a broken dependency i.e. that of libevtlog-devel (which i though should be eventlog-devel). Here is a small patch, i would appreciate if the developers think this is not appropriate.

hmm.. eventlog generates libevtlog-dev which provides libevtlog-devel. Why do you think the BuildRequires line is incorrect?

And btw, the spec.bb file is used by our internal build system, thus it might contain some BalaBitisms :) like the package naming which follows Debian's naming scheme because the build system works primarily with Debian packages.

google failed to turn up any references for libevtlog-devel :-( neither did any of the repositories mention an existence for it. However i did have a eventlog-devel rpm installed on the server which provides a libevtlog.a and hence the thought. In any case is this understanding correct for a centos box? Also on the spec.bb, i unsuccessfully created a custom spec file based on Tony Earnshaw's post and wasn't quite satisfied till i discovered this one in the source itself. Works quite well i must say ;-) Thanks for all your work on syslog-ng, it is a wonderful product. We are working on replacing syslog on all our servers pretty soon. - dhawal
