[root@fedora13 ~]# So the question is modified: how can I get it (and the supporting packages) back into Fedora. I have now updated the syslog-ng spec file from Fedora 12 to syslog-ng version 3.1.1 and compiled with mock on FC12 FC13 and Rawhide. These packages work fine, except for SElinux, as there is an additional control socket now and some rlimit settings. I'll have a separate e-mail about it. And a bonus question, as I work now for the upstream developer of syslog-ng: what was the reason for dropping syslog-ng from the distribution?
