Logcheck devel - Apr 2008 - Moving a rule to its package ? [Fwd: Suggestion : include /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/sympa in sympa package]

Hi.

I'm considering helping updating the logcheck rules for sympa.

Should the rules be included in the sympa package, to be adapted to
updates of the program, or be kept in logcheck-database (for cases of
manual installations of sympa ?).

If the file were to be moved, would there be a need for a diversion to
adapt to the transitional period where it would have been added in sympa
and not yet removed from logcheck-database, maybe ?

Thanks in advance for any comments,

Feel free to keep ticket 299701 at bugs.debian.org CC-ed.

Best regards,

Hi.

I'm thinking about updating the sympa logchek rules to adapt to the
current sympa package (which does not mean that sympa shouldn't be
improved so as to log a bit less).

I think that the sympa rules for logcheck would be better suited inside
the sympa package than in the logcheck-database package. Does it make
sense ?

Should I file a ticket on logcheck-database ? Or should there be a
diversion in the sympa package ?

I'll probably contact logchek maintainers on that issue and keep this
ticket CC-ed.

Any comments welcome.

Best regards,

I think it makes more sense to have it distributed by sympa.

You take the file and upload a new version, which Replaces logcheck
and let us know. We can then upload a new version without the file.
