First SRPM (builds but still untested): http://um-pe09-2.di.uminho.pt/fedora/syslog-ng-3.3.7-0.1.el6.src.rpm Caveats: * no debuginfo RPM see: https://bugzilla.balabit.com/show_bug.cgi?id=198 * no SSL suppport (library in /usr/lib{,64}) * no JSON support (json-c library in /usr/lib{,64}) New SRPM: http://um-pe09-2.di.uminho.pt/fedora/syslog-ng-3.3.8-0.1.el6.src.rpm Changelog: * Fri Jan 18 2013 Jose Pedro Oliveira <jpo at di.uminho.pt> - 3.3.8-0.1 - Update to 3.3.8 * Wed Jan 16 2013 Jose Pedro Oliveira <jpo at di.uminho.pt> - 3.3.7-0.3 - syslog-ng-3.3.7-20130105-v3.3.7-14-g45eaa.tar.gz - Use the --with-embedded-crypto option to avoid shipping a ld.so.conf file - Re-enable debuginfo (see also https://bugzilla.balabit.com/show_bug.cgi?id=198) - Bump the minimal ivykis version requirement to 0.30.5 * Fri Nov 30 2012 Jose Pedro Oliveira <jpo at di.uminho.pt> - 3.3.7-0.2 - Rename ivykis-ver to ivykis_ver (invalid character) syslog-ng-3.3.8-0.1.el6: current selinux-policy-3.7.19-155.el6_3.14 violations
----------
#============= syslogd_t ==============
allow syslogd_t anon_inodefs_t:file { write read };
allow syslogd_t self:process { getcap setcap };
----------
Notes:
* a couple of selinux policies need to be backported from Fedora
* temporary workaround for the linux capabilities selinux violations -
build syslog-ng without enabling linux-caps

Syslog-ng 3.3.9 SRPM for EPEL6: http://um-pe09-2.di.uminho.pt/fedora/syslog-ng-3.3.9-0.1.el6.src.rpm Note: use with selinux-policy-3.7.19-195.el6_4.5 (see #901945) Syslog-ng 3.3.11 SRPM for EPEL6: http://um-pe09-2.di.uminho.pt/fedora/syslog-ng-3.3.11-0.1.el6.src.rpm I've just sent an email to one of the Balabit's contacts requesting additional information about the future of the syslog-ng 3.3 support in face of the pending release of version 3.5. syslog-ng OSE support status: upstream update/clarification: * [syslog-ng] syslog-ng OSE supported versions, EoL times, etc Gergely Nagy <algernon at balabit.hu> Tue Oct 22 2013 https://lists.balabit.hu/pipermail/syslog-ng/2013-October/020831.html Syslog-ng 3.4.5 SRPM for EPEL6: http://um-pe09-2.di.uminho.pt/fedora/syslog-ng-3.4.5-0.1.el6.src.rpm eventlog 0.2.13 is now available in the EPEL6 updates-testing repositories. Syslog-ng 3.4.6 SRPM for EPEL6: http://um-pe09-2.di.uminho.pt/fedora/syslog-ng-3.4.6-0.1.el6.src.rpm syslog-ng 3.4.7 and 3.5.3 SRPMS: http://um-pe09-2.di.uminho.pt/fedora/syslog-ng-3.4.7-0.1.el6.src.rpm http://um-pe09-2.di.uminho.pt/fedora/syslog-ng-3.5.3-0.1.el6.src.rpm Is there a mirror for these SRPMs? The site doesn't appear to be responsive at the moment. Also, is there progress on putting this in EPEL? There are two problems: - discussed off bugzilla: current EPEL policy prohibits package updates, if it involves configuration editing, unless there is a known security issue with it. I'm not aware of any. - I don't have a copy of the updated EPEL packages What I can do, is to provide EPEL6 packages in Copr, the Fedora build service. The easiest / fastest would be to update the latest srpm from JPO, if he still has it somewhere. Other way I can put it on my ToDo list, but it's a long list, so would be a few weeks away. Peter: Thanks for the response. COPR would work for me in the event that JPO doesn't get those SRPMs hosted elsewhere. Thanks a lot. In case you were wondering, I'm specifically looking for the mongodb functionality in newer versions of syslog-ng. Until JPO shows up with more proper SRPMs, I prepared a package for RHEL6. From the changelog: * Tue Aug 19 2014 Peter Czanik <czanik> - 3.5.6-2 - adopt EPEL7 package to EPEL6 by messing all possible packaging guidelines - bundling missing libraries - /usr/sbin in RHEL6 - etc. So use at your own risk, and let me know, if you run into any trouble. I only forgot to add the download location: http://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/czanik/syslog-ng35epel6/ I am also interested in this as it appears that the threaded option for multi-threaded support is not available in the currently packaged version (3.2.x) Plus one interested in this for the same reason John from Comment 17 :) Thanks Apparently, nobody worked on this. Closing for now. The needinfo request[s] on this closed bug have been removed as they have been unresolved for 1000 days |
