Hi Peter, I know before there was a discussion on creating a repository for RHEL/CentOS to maintain a rolling release and a stable (log-term) release.  Is that still the plan?  Does this exist yet?  All Iā€™m seeing so far are the COPR releases.

Thanks,
-Mark

Hi,

Version 3.23.1 of syslog-ng is now available in EPEL 8. It has most, but not all of the syslog-ng features available.

Missing features:

  *   kafka destination, C implementation, as librdkafka is too old
  *   Java destination drivers (kafka, elastic, hdfs), as sources necessary to compile them are not in the distro. Note, that Elastic is supported through elastic-http()
  *   tcp wrapper, as support was removed from RHEL
  *   riemann does not have sub-second precision, as client in EPEL is too old
As missing dependencies arrived to EPEL 8, right now the official EPEL 8 syslog-ng package has more features enabled, than my own experimental EPEL 8 package šŸ™‚

Once 3.25.1 is released, I hope to support RHEL/CentOS 8 from my regular syslog-ng repositories. The difference is not as big as it was before missing dependencies became available, but I still need to figure out some RPM spec magic šŸ™‚

EPEL 8 stays at 3.23 (no version update is allowed there). There are plans to allow new versions into EPEL with each new minor RHEL release, but seeing is believing. It was promised for too many years.
