[Budai, László]

Hi,

I've just created my unofficial OBS repo[1] for syslog-ng 3.7.3 (latest
revision: 3.7.3-2).

List of supported OSs (i386/amd64):
* Debian 7.0
* Debian 8.0
* Ubuntu 12.04
* Ubuntu 14.04
* Ubuntu 14.10
* Ubuntu 15.04
* Ubuntu 15.10  [newly added]


Install
-------

example: Debian 8.0

1. get release key
wget -qO -
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/laszlo_budai:/syslog-ng/Debian_8.0/Release.key
| sudo apt-key add -

2. add repo to APT sources
eg.: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/syslog-ng-obs.list
deb
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/laszlo_budai:/syslog-ng/Debian_8.0

Notes to the java destinations
------------------------------

About the

```
Error opening plugin module; module='mod-java', error='libjvm.so: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory'
```

problem.

libmod-java.so is linked to the libjvm.so library.
If your java installation doesn't create a symlink in /usr/lib directory to
libjvm.so then
you have to modify your ld.so.conf or expand your LD_LIBRARY_PATH with the
containing library
before starting syslog-ng.

eg.:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/amd64/server:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
