[Logcheck-devel] logcheck on SUSE Linux - Debian-specifics

[Matthias Andree]

Greetings,

it's good to see someone's taken responsibility to maintain logcheck.

However, installing logcheck on SUSE Linux 10.0 turns out to be a major PITA.

1. SUSE doesn't have lockfile-progs or other packages providing these programs.

2. SUSE doesn't have run-parts either.

While I made my own RPMs to provide all this stuff, it would be
good to see future logcheck versions that aren't using debian-specific
programs and constrain themselves to using POSIX utilities, just like the
older versions did -- even LSB is too narrow a standard. logcheck is useful
on other systems than Debian, too.

Thanks a lot for your consideration.

Kind regards,
Matthias Andree
