--- Comment #8 from Ray Van Dolson <rvandolson at esri.com>  2009-03-16 20:01:34 EDT ---
Have started some initial work on getting this to compile for EL5 with one
.spec file.

Patch to configure.in is attached.

http://rayvd.fedorapeople.org/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.spec
http://rayvd.fedorapeople.org/syslog-ng/syslog-ng-2.0.10-2.el5.src.rpm

Some notes:
 * EL4 issues still need addressed (glib2 needs to be statically linked)
 * Assuming this is a branch agnostic patch, it should probably be modified
   to only patch configure.in if we're on EL4 or EL5.
 * There is an rpmlint complaint about the Provides:
     syslog-ng.src:44: W: unversioned-explicit-provides syslog
   rsyslog provides syslog in exactly the same way though.

Comments?  I'm not sure if this is the cleanest way to do a static patch short
of getting upstream to make some changes to the autoconf files before packaging
up their tarball.
