[syslog-ng]syslog-ng 1.9.2/eventlog 0.2.2: packaging notes

[Balazs Scheidler]

Hi Jose,

First of all thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it. I've
released new snapshots from eventlog and syslog-ng, hopefully fixing
these problems.

Fixed versions:
eventlog-0.2.3+20050116+1856.tar.gz
syslog-ng-1.9.2+20050116+1849.tar.gz

eventlog is distributed under a BSD style license, on the other hand
syslog-ng is of course GPLd.

syslog-ng now links statically against glib and eventlog while keeping
libc and related libs dynamic.
