Comment 3 for bug 1073801

thanks for the feedback, I'll work on it over the weekend and try and clear any of your comments/suggestions. some initial comments without having the code in front of me :-

2) the .jar file thing is painful, it's too big for bzr to upload ( I have a copy in my file/ dir but bzr complains ) so have to rely on the url provided on the logstash website, I guess it changed, or I somehow munged it.

4) There should be a sed line in the install hook to rename this. will check.

5) I had some weirdness accessing it files dir from relative files/ ... possibly because I was chdir'ing around the place during the install at first. HOME gave me a way to always get to the right place.

6) correct I added the syslog over port:5140 section just the other day but haven't done appropriate hooks for relations yet.
