maintainers - please advice

------- Comment #2 From Mr. Bones. 2007-12-18 20:20:04 0000 ------- 
should be good to stablize.  Adding arches.

------- Comment #3 From Lars Hartmann 2007-12-18 20:47:10 0000 ------- 
arches - please test and mark stable
target ebuild: app-admin/syslog-ng-2.0.6
target keywords: x86,ppc,sparc,amd64,alpha,ppc64,hppa

------- Comment #4 From Ferris McCormick 2007-12-18 21:21:00 0000 ------- 
Sparc stable.  Note also sparc stable for dev-libs/eventlog-0.2.5 as it is now
required for syslog-ng.

------- Comment #5 From Jeroen Roovers 2007-12-18 21:26:14 0000 ------- 
Stable for HPPA.

------- Comment #6 From Brent Baude 2007-12-19 03:09:03 0000 ------- 
ppc and ppc64 stable

------- Comment #7 From Raúl Porcel 2007-12-19 16:16:30 0000 ------- 
alpha/ia64 stable

------- Comment #8 From Samuli Suominen 2007-12-21 17:42:23 0000 ------- 
amd64 stable, still runs and logs

------- Comment #9 From Tobias Heinlein 2007-12-21 22:58:05 0000 ------- 
All supported arches done here, entering [glsa?] state.. Wait, I'd say this is
A3 as syslog-ng is a common package and the vulnerability doesn't affect
specific configurations only. Also, the Gentoo handbook installs syslog-ng by
default. Rerate, otherwise vote.

------- Comment #10 From Robert Buchholz 2007-12-22 13:17:46 0000 ------- 
Rerating A3, request filed.

GLSA 200712-19, thanks everyone.

Does not affect current (2008.0) release. Removing release.
