First I tried to contact the original syslog-ng packagers directly, but I got no response at all. Here on the list I got some questions about the new syslog-ng version, but while I update my rawhide installation quite often, I still did not see an update for syslog-ng. Now I looked around on the Fedora wiki, how I could to the packaging work myself. I found a page with many interesting details: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Join , but this seems to be for packagers joining to add a new package. How could I get an existing package upgraded? Bye, CzP -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
