Description of problem: logwatch does not contain any fetchmail report. I implemented a basic reporting backend: * The script itself is in: http://oron.fedorapeople.org/logwatch/fetchmail and should obviously be installed in: /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/services/ * A default configuration file is in: http://oron.fedorapeople.org/logwatch/fetchmail.conf and should be installed in: /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/services/ Example output: {{{ --------------------- Fetchmail Begin ------------------------ Messages someuser at someprovider: 3 anotheruser at someprovider: 51 Total: 54 Authorization failures someuser@somemailserver: 2 Time(s) anotheruser@somemailserver: 1 Time(s) Total: 3 No Mail someuser at someprovider: 91 Time(s) anotheruser at someprovider: 53 Time(s) someuser at otherprovider: 96 Time(s) yetanother at someprovider: 96 Time(s) Total: 336 **Unmatched Entries** socket error while fetching from someuser@somemailserver: 1 Time(s) timeout after 300 seconds waiting for server somemailserver: 1 Time(s) ---------------------- Fetchmail End ------------------------- }}}
Please could you report this bug to logwatch upstream - it would be fine to have it there. If you have any problem with reporting please write here, or if you prefer it I can sent the note instead of you
Just mailed their logwatch (dash) patches (at) logwatch (dot) org with the files and a link to this bug report. Let's see...
Got a response from logwatch author: From: Kirk Bauer <kirk (at) kaybee (dot) org> Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2009 06:30:24 -0700 Thanks, I'll put it in the queue! ----------------------------------------------------- Kirk Bauer <kirk (at) kaybee (dot) org> http://linux.kaybee.org | www.logwatch.org Author, Automating UNIX & Linux Administration That was quick. I hope their queue isn't stalled though ;-)
Thanks, good work.
Is there something new? That feature seems to be interesting...
Looks like the upstream maintainer forwarded it: http://www2.list.logwatch.org:81/pipermail/logwatch-devel/2009-October/002136.html However, I cannot find any hint of this actually being committed anywhere: http://www2.cvs.logwatch.org:81/index.cgi/logwatch/scripts/services/ Refering #1 maybe it would be better for Ivana to try and push this.
It usually takes upstream some time to review the patch and incorporate it to upstream cvs.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
* Bumped version to 12. * Kerel (current package maintainer) -- Do you know if/when new upstream logwatch package is due? * If upstream is stalled (6 months) are there other alternatives? - Maintain this as a Fedora patch (it's two new files, without editing any existing file). - Maybe other distros are interested and can help push it? (Debian?)
Hi Oron, I do not know about any upstream plans to release a new version. I'll include your fetchmail service as a patch when preparing next update.
Good news: the fetchmail service is commited into upstream SVN repository.
The fetchmail service has been added to the latest rawhide build (logwatch-7.3.6-55.fc15).
Fedora 14: logwatch-7.3.6-55.fc14
