Description Decibels 2003-01-29 06:51:58 UTC

I just decided to change from sysklogd to syslog-ng.
After the emerge was done it states this in the ebuild.
*****
pkg_postinst() {
	einfo "A sample configuration file can be found in /etc/syslog-ng."
	einfo "To convert your existing syslog.conf for use with syslog-ng,"
	einfo "use the syslog2ng script in /usr/share/doc/syslog-ng-1.5.24."

*****

I cannot find the script anywhere. I do not believe it is there. I extracted
everything in the /usr/share/doc/syslog-gn directory. And even did a updatedb.
It is now where. Believe the ebuild pkg_postint needs to either be updated or
the script included.

The script is part of syslog-ng 1.5.x but is not found in 1.4.x.  I'm removing mention of the script from pkg_postinst for those versions.
