[syslog-ng] Re: syslog-ng 2.0.4 has been released

[Jan-Frode Myklebust]

For anyone using my RHEL5 rpms.. I'm sorry to say that the upgrade
procedure is a bit broken. I've mistakingly used the RPM %preun 
and %postun to stop syslog-ng and remove the selinux module. It 
turned out that these sections are run after upgrades too, not just
for un-installs, so upgrading the rpm ended by running:

        /etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog-ng stop
        chkconfig --del syslog-ng
        semodule -l | grep -q syslog_ng && semodule --remove=syslog_ng

So, for upgrading from syslog-ng-2.0.3 to syslog-ng-2.0.4 I'd
recommend doing:

        rpm -ev syslog-ng
        rpm -ivh syslog-ng-2.0.4-3.el5.i386.rpm
        mv /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf.rpmsave /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf

Instead of the normal "yum update" or "rpm -Uvh syslog-ng...".
