Description Malte Starostik 2012-05-31 00:12:38 UTC

$subject

syslog-ng is systemd-enabled upstream, attached patch enables this functionality (socket activation and unit installation) and adds some blurb regarding the necessary configuration.

Reproducible: Always

Patch seem ok.  3.3.6 is going to drop soon so I think I'll pick this up for that version.

Comment 3 Gergely Nagy 2012-07-16 09:20:39 UTC

FYI, with syslog-ng 3.3.6, the /dev/log => /run/systemd/journal/syslog replacement is not necessary (it will figure that out itself, and replace it automatically at run-time), but still recommended.

Even better, using the system() source results in a configuration that will work in either case, with or without systemd, without needing any change at all after that point.

I modified the patch a little bit to make this conditional with a systemd useflag. I also added a patch for the service file that was necessary on my system.

I added the ebuild also to my anyc-overlay.

i don't think that USE=systemd is a good idea, for the same reasons we dropped logrotate, xinetd and other similar use flags ...

Okay, I would agree to that by now. But the patch is still required - at least on my system.

USE=systemd for installing systemd unit files is wrong and will likely be removed by systemd@ if found.
