It's useful for NFLOG logging: - https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/4J234RZ7Q5EILLNOSFEUERJ3AAS63LDL/ - https://github.com/firewalld/firewalld/issues/1094 Quote from commit message of https://src.fedoraproject.org/fork/thaller/rpms/ulogd/commits/th/2.0.8 : Update to ulogd 2.0.8 and unretire The ulogd package was retried in F25, 2016 as it was sysvinit-only ([1]). [1] https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/1605 - Rebase to 2.0.8. Most recent upstream release from 2022-Nov-11. https://netfilter.org/projects/ulogd/downloads.html#ulogd-2.0.8 - Add a systemd service file. - The package is inspired by Debian's ulogd2 (2.0.8-1) package. The point is that the Debian pacakge is maybe in use and possibly works well. By doing something similar, we may also do the right thing and Debian users may be familiar with it already. In particular: - create and use system user "ulog". - create /var/log/ulog directory and patch configuration to use files in that directory. - enable a certain stack in /etc/ulogd.conf. - add a logrotate and tmpfiles configuration. Note that the Debian package is called "ulogd2", while we call the package "ulogd". Note that "ulogd" is also the name of the package on openSUSE. We thus follow the latter. Also, this is really an unretirement of the previous "ulogd" package. - create and use system user "ulog". The usage of "-u ulogd" is however problematic, because ulogd will start creating files as root before changing user. A later SIGHUP fails to reopen the file. That's why its use is configurable via ULOGD_ARGS in /etc/sysconfig/ulogd. - don't add COPYING file to each plugin subpackages. - drop large "ulogd.{ps,html}" documentation files. They are large, and don't seem to useful. - requires libnetfilter_log 1.0.2. Find it at https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libnetfilter_log/pull-request/1 . This also depends on libnetfilter_log to 1.0.2, which is currently not yet in Rawhide: SPEC: https://src.fedoraproject.org/fork/thaller/rpms/libnetfilter_log/blob/th/release-1.0.2/f/libnetfilter_log.spec dist-git: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libnetfilter_log/pull-request/1 SRPM: https://thaller.fedorapeople.org/ulogd/libnetfilter_log-1.0.2-1.fc41.src.rpm -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
