It would also be great if you could pull:

	git pull http://tanso.net/git/syslog-ng-2.0.git rhelspecfile

That will pull in a contrib/rhel-packaging/syslog-ng.spec that can be
used for building RPMs for RHEL:

	http://git.tanso.net/syslog-ng-2.0.git/?p=syslog-ng-2.0.git;a=blob;f=contrib/rhel-packaging/syslog-ng.spec;h=a4b2f3d22c7da6becd14001774129e356bd3927b;hb=30ea94e38175a94deb9a2fe7d586d957a18cce29

It will build both a normal package for the base syslog-ng, and a
separate RPM for the selinux module:

	http://tanso.net/yum/repodata/repoview/syslog-ng-0-2.0.4-8.el5.html
	http://tanso.net/yum/repodata/repoview/syslog-ng-selinux-0-2.0.4-8.el5.html

The base syslog-ng should work on any RHEL, while the syslog-ng-selinux
will only work on RHEL5, FC6 or similar with the new modular SELinux
policy.

BTW: any hints for how to get a @VERSION@ replaced like you do for
automatic conversion from syslog-ng.spec.bb.in to syslog-ng.spec.bb ?
Currently I have the version number hard-coded..
