Bug#196864: ITP: socklog -- small and secure replacement for syslogd



socklog cooperates with the runit package to create a small and secure
replacement for syslogd.  socklog supports system logging through Unix
domain sockets (/dev/log) and UDP sockets (0.0.0.0:514) with the help of
runit's runsvdir, runsv, and svlogd.  socklog provides a different
network logging concept, and also does log event notification.  svlogd
has built in log file rotation based on file size, so there is no need
for any cron jobs to rotate the logs.  socklog is small, secure, and
reliable.

See http://smarden.org/socklog/ for more information.

I'm also the upstream author, the license is a BSD three-clause license.

The release 1.0.0 of socklog cooperates with the daemontools package
instead of the runit package.  I'm currently preparing a new testing
package which doesn't depend on daemontools.

Regards, Gerrit.
