[syslog-ng] debian init files gone wrong? (Due to git reorg?)

[Valentijn Sessink]

Hi,

Building syslog-ng from source posed a few problems, one of them being
debian/syslog-ng.init that missed a crucial option:

It's function syslogng_start() in Git currently says:
    start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec "$SYSLOGNG" --pidfile
"$PIDFILE" -- $SYSLOGNG_OPTS \

... while the Debian source I viewed says:

start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec "$SYSLOGNG" --pidfile
"$PIDFILE" -- -p "$PIDFILE" $SYSLOGNG_OPTS \

As the Git repository tells the file is from 2007, I suspect the git
reorganisation from november to have caused this - but I'm not sure.
Also, the Debian init files seem to be much more up to date than this
file - the file in Git still starts with the "skeleton" stuff.

Best regards,

Valentijn
