[arch-general] Unannounced syslog config move
Hi, who had the glorious idea to move the syslog-ng.conf from /etc/ to /etc/syslog-ng/ without telling anyone? I lost about 1 weeks of log entries because of this. I understand why it was moved but what happenend to announcing such changes? I think a message in post_upgrade() is not to much to ask for. Sebastian -- The best thing about a boolean is even if you are wrong, you are only off by a bit.

You would have got a message about a pacsave file being created. Allan

Which I responded to with a "mv /etc/sylog-ng.conf.pacsave /etc/syslog-ng.conf" because there was no indication that the conf file is now at another place. Sebastian -- The best thing about a boolean is even if you are wrong, you are only off by a bit.

.pacsave indicates that /etc/syslog-ng.conf no longer exists in the package. although it's still not an explicit warning. anyway, we can use logic. ;-)

Otherwise there would have been a /etc/syslog-ng.conf.pacnew and not a /etc/syslog-ng.conf.pacsave. Heiko

Annoying anyway. A short post-update message doesn't hurt anyone. --
