Hi David and Otis, I've created an issue: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog-pkg-rhel-centos/issues/13
As I'm describing there, I couldn't create a PR because I don't know what's the best option. Some opinions are welcome :) And even if I pick one, I don't know how to do it: - repo files are not static and I can't find how to add the priority option by using the scripts - I can't seem to be able to submit a change to that repos page from GitHub (in order to add a warning note) so I'd also need some guidance in how to apply either of these solutions.
