Hi, As you might have figured, we need Ubuntu packages as well. Especially for Precise.
The main question I have is where to contribute, and are contributions needed? I think it would be nice to join forces somehow, for making recent rsyslog packages available. To be more specific, we need rsyslog and rsyslog-relp, with omelasticsearch, imptcp and mmjsonparse on top of them. So I took the source package from Todd's PPA (I hope you don't mind, Todd!), and from it I've built: - rsyslog-elasticsearch - rsyslog-imptcp - rsyslog-mmjsonparse I also did a minor fix by taking out the "-c5" parameter from /etc/default and the init script. All in all it seems to work fine - although there's quite some more work ahead, like making it available for 32-bit and for other versions of Ubuntu. Now to put the question into context, for me (and others interested in the components mentioned above), I see the following options of publishing the packages I've done: 1. my own PPA/repo 2. Adiscon's repo. Or PPA if you guys want to make one 3. Todd's PPA 4. Debian Experimental repo Of course that, except for option 1, the maintainers would have to agree first :) What do you think or suggest?
