Bug#1117909: trixie-pu: syslog-ng/4.8.1-5+deb13u1
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
Tags: trixie
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: pu
Control: affects -1 + src:syslog-ng
Hi RMs,
[ Reason ]
Close to the Trixie release writing out log statistics and on a too
frequent interval was turned on in syslog-ng. Unfortunately these
statistics are also written out if there were no log messages
received, i.e. there were nothing else to log.
[ Impact ]
This writes out log events every second, filling up disks of small VMs
for example. This was reverted for Sid, but Trixie needs this package
update.
[ Tests ]
Local compile tests, I don't have a box to test this at the moment.
But the fix is very trivial.
[ Risks ]
I do not know any.
[ Checklist ]
[x] *all* changes are documents in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in trixie
[x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable
Thanks for considering,
Laszlo/GCS
