[Bug 950799] Re: Freeze exception: syslog-ng 3.3.4 (bugfixes)

[Andrew Starr-Bochicchio]

Looks good. Uploaded.

I did tweak the changelog a bit:

1) It was targeting unstable not precise
2) It dropped old Ubuntu changelog entries
3) s/Apply patches from previous Ubuntu versions/Merge with Debian Testing. Remaining Ubuntu changes/
Not a big deal, but that's just the usual format.
4) Closed this bug

Thanks for your work!

Title:
  Freeze exception: syslog-ng 3.3.4 (bugfixes)

Status in “syslog-ng” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I would like to request a freeze exception for syslog-ng, to replace
  the current version in Precise (3.3.1+patches) with the version
  currently in Debian testing (3.3.4+patches). The rationale being that
  there have been a ton of bugfixes made since 3.3.1, and the version
  currently in precise suffers from many critical bugs, including but
  not limited to crashes on reload, or when sending to a very slow
  receiver, memory leaks, race conditions, non-working features and a
  whole lot of other things.

  3.3.4 with the patches in Debian are a much more suitable version for
  an LTS release, because that version actually works. The relevant part
  of the upstream NEWS is attached.

  I have prepared a package, with the Ubuntu patches applied on top of
  the Debian package, I will include the link later, once they're
  finished uploading.

  I have verified that the package builds and installs, and we're using
  3.3.4 internally (on ubuntu), thus, it's known to work, too. Build and
  install logs will be attached in a couple of moments, too.
