thanks for the advice. DuH on me, I just needed to read the syntax page a little more closely.

btw, what about in including in default/elog also a voice for the "-x" switch ??

It is a security related thing and may be passed only on the command line to the
daemon, so it should be governed by the system elog admin.

no, my bad (it seems :-P) .. I re-installed the package now on my laptop and seems
to work fine... maybe I have swapped the diff result when installed yesterday.

Making tests I found another problem, her is the report:

So, removing an existing elog (not purging) and installing again raise the error.
Why installation creates the default/elog file only the first time ?  I think it
shoud do the job everytime (and everytime ask the user is there is a diff to be
checked)

Thanks for the test.  Please note that, /etc/default/elog is partially auto
created during the installation.  All options except PIDFILE and CONFFILE are
currently listed (as configured or commented out).  If you didn't see these
options (after the update), there must be a problem.   Did you mean the lack of
PIDFILE and CONFFILE in the default file?

It seems to work nice to me.
Just another suggestion: I think it would be better to insert a commented out
example for all allowed parameters in the distributed  /etc/default/elog

nice work :-)
  1002   Wed Mar 23 05:56:35 2005 Warning Recai Oktasroktas@omu.edu.trInfoLinux New Debian package (2.5.8+r1592) -- needs testing
Hi to all,

I've prepared a new Debian package.  This version will probably be the one
which you'll find in Sarge/stable.

There are some invasive changes in this version which call for a serious
test.  In accordance with a suggestion, I've changed the configuration
mechanism.  For details, please read the NEWS.Debian file attached.

Could the Debian users who follow this forum test it and give some feedback?
You can download the package from the following link:

  http://l10n-turkish.alioth.debian.org/debian/elog_2.5.8+r1592-1_i386.deb

Thanks in advance for your participation,
Attachment 1: NEWS.Debian
elog (2.5.7+r1589-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Starting from this version, /etc/default/elog is installed as part
    of the package.  Following variables (with default values) can
    be used in /etc/default/elog:

      # Host where elogd will run.
      # HOST=localhost

      # Be verbose.
      # VERBOSE=yes

      # Port where elogd will run.
      PORT=8080

      # Logbook root directory.
      LOGBOOKDIR=/var/lib/elog

      # Resource directory (i.e. themes, icons).
      RESOURCEDIR=/usr/share/elog

    These variables will become the command line options of elogd.
    Since command line options always supersede the corresponding
    options in config file, the existence of such a file provides a
    way to discriminate two roles: System admin (root) and Elog admin.
    Elog config file (/etc/elog.conf) now represents the Elog admin's
    settings, while /etc/default/elog corresponds to the system admin's
    settings.  For example, if system admin defines the following line,
    the Elog admin's port setting in config file will be ignored and
    ELOG will always listen port '80' (note that the compiled-in
    default port is '8080'):

      PORT=80

    One can also change the logbook repository location by using the
    same mechanism, e.g. to set the data directory as '/srv/elog' (as
    suggested in FHS v2.3) use the following line:

      LOGBOOKDIR=/srv/elog

    Maintainer scripts should gracefully handle this transition.  But
    please note that those system admin's settings listed above should
    not be used in elog.conf, even though Elog allows it.
