The version of sysklogd that LFS uses (1.5.1 - from
https://www.infodrom.org/projects/sysklogd/) has not been updated in
over 5 years (late 2014).
There is a successor project with active development (
https://github.com/troglobit/sysklogd), which consolidates klogd into
syslogd, adds remote logging, autotools build system among many other
things.
With standard
./configure --prefix=/usr —-sbindir=/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc --
localstatedir=/var
make
make install
and the attached boot script patch, this new version has been working
quite well in my setup
Should LFS mgirate over?
+1, but maybe wait for things to settle: there have been 7 releases in
5 months...
What are the real advantages? What we have now seems to work pretty
well. Both syslogd and klogd are in the same package and build in less
than 0.1 SBU (one second in my log). There is only one bootscript that
launches both daemons. syslogd handles remote logging.
We do have a couple of minor seds, but I am reluctant to change a
working package just because something is newer.
