Rolling RPM platforms added to the syslog-ng package build system
Syslog-ng uses a container-based system to generate the official source tgz and to build ready-to-use packages for various Linux distributions. Recently, we added support for some rolling RPM Linux distributions, allowing us to spot breaking changes before a stable release of the OS would become available.
