[syslog-ng] RHEL5.3 - binary rpm build from syslog-ng_3.0.2.tar.gz

[jac_s at dacafe.com]

Thanks Andreas,

I looked into the rhel5 based rpms available and noticed the changes in
.spec file as suggested by you.

I managed to build the RPM from the source file after making the change
you suggested. I also commented the line related to logcat - which is not
supported on Linux.

Thanks again,
joe
