[syslog-ng] syslog-ng-2.1beta1 on NetBSD 3.0, duplicate suppression docs?

[Ed Ravin]

I encountered two problems building syslog-ng-2.1beta1 on NetBSD 3.0:

1) I needed to patch loggen.c (stole this patch from a FreeBSD site,
apparently it happens on that OS too)

-------------------------------------

2) I built syslog-ng with --enable-tcp-wrappers, which needlessly put
"-lwrap" on the LIBS line in the Makefiles for programs that did not
actually use TCP wrappers.  This causes link-time errors, since
libwrap requires you to declare two symbols in your program.  The fix
was to run this in the source directory:

    find tests/ -name Makefile -exec perl -p -i -e 's/-lwrap//' {} ";"

-------------------------------------

I also have a couple of observations/questions:

3) It turns out I really wanted syslog-ng2.1beta2, but although that
was announced as released, only the beta1 tarball is actually on the
source download site.  I had to go to the snapshots.  The above
fixes were also needed for the beta2 sources.

-------------------------------------

4) I'm looking for info on how to use the duplicate suppression
option - it doesn't seem to be in the docs included in the source.
Can someone give me a quick summary?  This was (IMHO) the only
extant flaw in syslog-ng and I'm looking forward to trying it out!


Thanks,
