Rainer, I was under the impression that at least with the LTS release of Ubuntu that you voided support(assuming you pay for it) when you replaced the "official" rsyslog. One of the dependencies is a meta package called "ubuntu-minimal". I've done it and it does work fine, the only real issue I see is paid support.
*Note* I don't know where I read that, I went back and tried something official and came up with nothing.

Ok, I was under the impression that a ppa added a new repository, so I was thinking that you could have the ppa process add the adiscon repository instead of a launchpad repository. This is about what the instructions tell you to do now, but the ppa mechanism is a few less steps (and has marketing type advantages) David Lang > One thing I am not clear on about this new repository is it for the > -devel branch or -stable. > > On the page it says it is for -stable. > > "Please note that the Ubuntu Repository is open for testing at the > moment, and contains only the latest Version for v7-stable." > > But the packages are for v7-devel 7.3.4. vs 7.2.3 which is the latest > stable release. > > > On Fri, Nov 30, 2012 at 10:42 AM, David Lang <[email protected]> wrote: >> On Fri, 30 Nov 2012, Todd Mortensen wrote: >> >>> Are you looking at what it would take to add as an ubuntu ppa?
