I already use it (1.18.0-1) on a RHEL5 system, seems to work ok.
The package has to be adapted on a few places to allow it to be installed
along with sysklogd (I guess that should be the goal?). What I did:
- Provides and Obsoletes lines have to be disabled.
- Chang "2345" to "-" in the init script (not started by default)
- Comment out all line in the logrotate file (conflicts with sysklogd).
- Don't execute the migration stuff (mv's) in %post.
Then it can be installed together with sysklogd and when someone wants
to enable it, one has to do:
- chkconfig syslog off
- chkconfig rsyslog on
- comment out lines in syslog logrotate file
- uncomment lines in rsyslog logrotate file
