Freeze exception: syslog-ng 2.0.9 (bugfixes)

Binary package hint: syslog-ng

We have syslog-ng 2.0.6-1 in Ubuntu Hardy, but the last upstream release is 2.0.9 (from 2008-05-23).

There have been many bugs fixed and therefore I'd like to get this into Hardy.

The current version in unstable is 2.0.8~1-1 and I've contacted the maintainer, if he can package 2.0.9 in the next days, but no reply yet. So I've upgraded the package myself.

Upstream changelog:
2.0.9
        Sun, 23 Mar 2008 21:36:47 +0100

        Bugfixes:
        * Fixed handling more than 256 destinations by changing the
          reference counter type of LogMessages to a 16 bit value.
        * Fixed a possible SIGABRT crash if the hosts file passed to
          dns-cache-hosts() had multiple entries with the same IP address.
        * Fixed a possible crash during startup if "-g" was specified without
          using "-u".

2.0.8
        Thu, 31 Jan 2008 12:38:21 +0100

        Bugfixes:
        * Fixed a regression in 2.0.7 that caused destination files not to
          be reopened when syslog-ng was reopened. This causes potential
          problems with log rotation.
        * Fixed DNS cache size checking, persistent DNS cache entries were
          also counted against dns_cache_size() which might decrease cache
          space significantly when a large /etc/hosts file is in use.
        * Fixed a bug that caused the persistent DNS cache (e.g. /etc/hosts)
          to be reloaded for all name resolution requests.

        Other changes:
        * Fixed sample configuration file for RedHat.
        * Some portability changes in loggen.
        * Added cygwin packaging files to contrib/cygwin-packaging.

2.0.7
        Thu, 03 Jan 2008 07:01:59 +0100

        Bugfixes:
        * Fixed UNIX domain socket destinations on Solaris.
        * Fixed flow-control behavior for follow-mode source files.
        * Added the 'mark' keyword to be an alias of 'mark_freq' for
          compatibility with syslog-ng 1.6.
        * Fixed message loss in destination files during configuration
          reloads that occurred when syslog-ng was under heavy load.
        * Fixed a possible segmentation fault in the dns-cache-host()
          file-parsing code that occurred with certain improperly formatted
          host files.
        * Fixed possible "Insufficient buffer space" errors in the STREAMS
          driver.
        * Fixed the starvation of the timer used to reap unused destination
          files, which could cause some files never to be closed under
          heavy load.
        * Fixed the parsing of ISO timestamps that do not contain timezone
          information, or the fraction of the second portion is listed on too
          many digits.
        * Added a workaround for possible deadlocks on /proc/kmsg and
          user terminals.
        * Fixed program-name parsing that caused problems for TAG values
          that include the '/' character. This problem was introduced in
          2.0.6.

        Other changes:
        * The fsync() option was implemented.
        * Added support for file sources that do not exist at startup.
        * Added support the "--persist-file" configuration option.
        * Added support for timestamps used by some Linksys routers.
        * Added the loggen tool to generate syslog messages at the specified
          rate.

The reverse depends are:
  syslog-ng-dbgsym
  syslog-ng-dbgsym
 |psad
  ldirectord
  jffnms
 |heartbeat
  logcheck

Due to its bugfix nature, I see no regression potential.
