[syslog-ng] Can't install syslog-ng 2 on fedora 6

[Jose Pedro Oliveira]

Martin,

Try this SRPM:
ftp://perl.di.uminho.pt/pub/fedora/syslog-ng-2.0.0-1.src.rpm

A couple of comments regarding the upgrade from 1.6.x to 2.0.0
are available here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=219771

For SELinux rules regarding TCP support check the following tickets:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=215046
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=218978

A download link for a syslog-ng 1.6.11 SRPM with the SELinux rules
is listed in the bug report #215046.

At some time in the future both SRPMS will be pushed into the Fedora
Extras mirrors.

Regards,
jpo
