Bug#762700: systemd: journald fails to forward some messages to syslog

[Raphaël HALIMI]

Package: systemd
Version: 215-4
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Playing around with journalctl, I stumbled upon some messages like this one:

sept. 24 14:15:35 arche systemd-journal[182]: Forwarding to syslog
missed 9 messages.

A quick Google search brought up this thread on upstream mailing list:

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-August/021897.html

I'm not 100% sure it's the same problem, but it really looks pretty
close. The suggested fix is to increase the socket's buffer; it has been
recently committed on upstream git, but unfortunately, it's not in the
stable branch yet:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/?id=5e8b767df6e18444d5aff2987b5e5603361ed528

Any chance to include this fix in systemd before Jessie is released ?

Note: I have set the severity to important instead of normal, because
since journalctl is quite new in Debian, I guess most users (including
me) still rely on /var/log/syslog to read logs, thus maybe missing some
important messages from time to time.
