Hello all,
Is it save to use an ubuntu repository for debian? Couldn't find any
instructions for debian and i rather use an official repo /nor backports
than to build from source.
A v7 backport (7.4.4 to be specific) for Debian wheezy is in
preparation. It should be available via backports.debian.org soonish.
I wouldn't run a Ubuntu version of rsyslog on Debian. There are quite
a few differences (like the Ubuntu package only shipping upstart job
files etc), which will break on Debian.
is it just a problem of startup and config files? or are there deeper
issues?
The focus on upstart-only support is the most obvious problem. One
noticeable difference is also that Ubuntu uses a dedicated syslog
user/group to run rsyslog under. There might be upgrade issues if you
have existing files.
I've had to do my own startup files in the past, so this didn't bother me (or I
just keep the startup files from the distro stock package)
what are reasonable options for someone who needs features that are only in
7.5?
What specific features are those? If you have such special needs, I'm
not sure if the stock Debian package is sufficient for you, anyway.
Well, one big one is the support for 'local' and 'global' variables, but there
are a bunch of new things that have been going in during 7.5. I don't remember
them all. I also expect to be adding to them shortly :-)
