Bug#633530: arno-iptables-firewall: Please remove dependency on rsyslog
Package: arno-iptables-firewall Version: 2.0.0.a-2 Severity: normal I just discovered that new version of arno-iptables-firewall 2.0.0.b-1 has dependency on rsyslog. Is this really needed by upstream? I know that rsyslog is standard logging solution for Debian but we have plenty of others included. Problem is obvious. When you use different logging demon you are not able to use arno-iptables-firewall starting with this update. Please remove dependency on rsyslog (maybe put to recommends?) as this excellent firewall solution will be unusable for many of us. I'm using arno on dozens of servers where is syslog-ng installed and needed.

I'll change that in the next upload. Are you interested in contributing a patch that makes the package also ready to use with syslog-ng? Upstream ships some default config, but that seems to be a little dated. If you have experience with syslog-ng it should be fairly simple to compose something that the package can ship by default.

Upstream ships some default config, but that seems to be a little dated. If you have experience with syslog-ng it should be fairly simple to compose something that the package can ship by default. I can try to create patch but from what I found it seems that default debian config file doesn't use debian directory config way. There is only file /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf so we cannot do it same way as in rsyslog with rsyslog.d I can modify logrotate script to invoke rsyslog rotate only if rsyslog is available. Maybe we can just add relevant part of syslog-ng config file to docs. As syslog-ng supports including dir, I can try to fill bugreport to syslog-ng package with wish to change configuration to syslog-ng.d way and adjust it later. Just leave this bug open or close it and I will fill new bug report with patch when I have some time to do it.
