Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: important Tags: lenny, override Hello,
It has been discussed to change the default syslog daemon for lenny. This discussion took place both on debian-devel [1] and debian-release [2],[3]. syslog-ng, msyslog and rsyslog all were mentioned as possible alternatives for sysklogd, but in the end most people voted for rsyslog, see for example [4] and [5]. Additionally, Debian Edu already switched to rsyslog for their Lenny based version with success [6]. At least one lenny release manager mentioned that he doesn't object against the change and that it's not to late for lenny either yet [7],[8]. So if you don't have any objections, please invert priorities of rsyslog and sysklogd+klogd in your overrides. greetings, jonas [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2008/01/msg01002.html [2] http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2008/04/msg00023.html [3] http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2008/07/msg00117.html [4] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2008/01/msg01005.html [5] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2008/01/msg01061.html [6] http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2008/07/msg00170.html [7] http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2008/07/msg00162.html [8] http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2008/07/msg00172.html -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-1-amd64-resivo (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
