[Logcheck-devel] No love for Solaris SPARC?

[JV]

Hello, I see the development of logcheck v1.2.45 has become Debian-specific, with Debian platform dependancies in the code for things like:

if [ ! -f /usr/bin/lockfile-create -o \
     ! -f /usr/bin/lockfile-remove -o \
     ! -f /usr/bin/lockfile-touch ]; then
    echo "fatal: lockfile-progs is a prerequisite for logcheck, and was not found."
    exit 1
fi

"lockfile-progs" is a package for Debian/Ubuntu, tho someone ported it to Solaris Nextenta x86/x64 on Intel:

http://archive.nexenta.org/elatte-testing/misc/lockfile-progs

but lockfile-progs does not exist in Solaris SPARC.


What is the feeling of the development team about a Solaris-port? ... the world has moved on and Opensolaris (Solaris 11) is my distro of choice. Logcheck 1.2.45 would be a welcome addition 'round here. I have about 1,000 servers that could use it.

Kind Regards,
JV711

Gordon,

I am not sure what to do with this as it's a patch against 1.1.1/Solaris, a=
nd
this project is currently Debian-native (and much evolved from 1.1.1)

I'd suggest mailing this to Sean Boran <sean at boran.com> who seems to be
maintaining an old tree on Solaris.

Cheers,
