Comment 1 Guillaume Rousse 2014-06-01 14:47:36 CEST
should be fixed in syslog-ng-3.4.5-1.1.mga4, available from core/updates_testing.

Status: NEW => ASSIGNED

Comment 2 David Walser 2014-10-06 18:19:17 CEST
Bit Twister, can you confirm that the update candidate fixes it?

This needs to be assigned to the QA Team if it is going to be pushed as an update.

> Bit Twister, can you confirm that the update candidate fixes it?

Yep, 64bit only.

$ cat /var/log/messages
cat: /var/log/messages: No such file or directory

Enabled testing, urpmi syslog-ng, syslog-ng -s, systemctl start syslog-ng,
systemctl status syslog-ng, looked ok.

Did a cat /var/log/messages and it had all sorts of messages.

Looks good to me.

Validating.  We still need to upload an advisory.

Sysadmins, please push to core/updates once we have an advisory uploaded.

Anyone feel free to correct this proposed advisory if it's not good:

This update fixes a warning about the syslog-ng configuration file format
being too old.
