New subject: [opensuse-buildservice] Need help to build package - ramlog

20 Jul 2009


      Hello, 
I would like to build the following application in opensuse build service 
(against factory repo both 32 and 64 bit) and I need step by step guide to
setup, compile and build the rpms in the build service .
Thankyou
Glenn
So far I have got some details.
- Details of the project  > http://freshmeat.net/projects/ramlog/
 and
http://tofu3.szm.sk/ramlog/
- An account on opensuse build service on which to build it.
- Rpm source code
   (I don't know which one to use out of these to use for the build
process)

%description
ramlog act as system daemon. On startup it creates ramdisk, it copies
files from /var/log into ramdisk and mounts ramdisk as /var/log.     
All logs after that will be updated on ramdisk.                      
On shutdown it saves log files back to harddisk so logs are consistent.
If you restart the service, ramlog saves content of ramdisk do harddisk,
so logs are not lost in case of power outage or kernel panic.
Install ramlog if you have enough of free memory and you want to keep your
logs
on ramdisk. It is good for notebook users, for systems with UPS or for
systems 
running from flash - to save some write cycles.
