Added basic #multicast functionality to #sysklogd today. And then my regression tests suddenly started failing … on CI. Obviously work fine when run locally, and tests failing that are not related to the latest changes and worked fine the last weeks *sigh*

At least I know what I’ll be doing tomorrow.

#OpenSource #maintenance

Ah yes, I’m done! Just completed program, hostname, and (generic) property based (incl RFC5424 properties!) filtering support for #sysklogd 🤓🤯 The latter supports very powerful text matching, including regexp! Next release will probably be out tomorrow, first day of the new year!

For most (all) of our automated testing in #Infix we use #Python which is amazing in every way and really fit for purpose, but in the #sysklogd project (and many others) I rely on plain #POSIX shell scripts, and OMG it's so easy to forget how powerful #shell scripting is!

Refactoring tests in the #sysklogd project for upcoming new features 🤓
