Syslog-ng

Debian’s syslog-ng have disabled tests. Though package ships separate DEP-8 smoke tests. Here is a way to run upstream tests (and backported tests)

$ skip_submodules=1 ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure   --prefix=/usr \
               --mandir=/usr/share/man \
               --sysconfdir=/etc/syslog-ng \
               --localstatedir=/var/lib/syslog-ng \
               --libdir=/usr/lib/syslog-ng \
               ${SILENT_MODE} \
               \
               --enable-dynamic-linking \
               --enable-ssl \
               --enable-spoof-source \
               --enable-tcp-wrapper \
               --enable-sql \
               --enable-mongodb \
               --enable-json \
               --enable-riemann \
               --disable-java \
               --enable-manpages \
               --enable-amqp \
               $(PACCT_CONFIGURE_OPTS) \
               --enable-python \
               --with-python=3 \
               --enable-http \
               --enable-kafka \
               \
               --with-mongoc=system \
               --with-ivykis=system \
               --with-jsonc=system \
               --with-librabbitmq-client=system \
               \
               --with-module-dir='$${exec_prefix}/lib/syslog-ng/${UMAJOR}' \
               --with-systemdsystemunitdir="/lib/systemd/system" \
               \
               SOURCE_REVISION="$${SOURCE_REVISION}" \
               ${SYSTEMD_CONFIGURE_OPTS} \
               ${EXTRA_CONFIGURE_OPTS}

$ sudo apt install libcriterion-dev
$ make && make check
