Hope this is the right place to ask this. Has there
been any thought to the addition of syslog-ng to the
repos? It might be too much of a specialty item but if
you have a need for advanced syslog filtering (host
based logging, logging to a database, syslog spoofing,
and many other advanced features) then syslog-ng is a
big help. I use it on centralized remote log servers
and have been building my own RPMs. It comes with a
spec file and is pretty easy to get RPMs built, just
hoping it makes it into someones apt repository. :)

The easiest thing to do is get the latest stable
snapshot of libol and syslog-ng. It comes with good
distro config files in the contrib directory within
the tar ball. If built from the included spec file it
will replace the existing syslog service with
syslog-ng, log rotation, etc.

Packages if interested:

Thanks in advance!
