[Bug 2130067] [NEW] Merge rsyslog from Debian Unstable for resolute

 

Public bug reported:

Scheduled-For: ubuntu-25.11
Ubuntu: 8.2504.0-1ubuntu2
Debian Unstable: 8.2510.0-2

A new release of rsyslog is available for merging from Debian Unstable.

If it turns out this needs a sync rather than a merge, please change the
tagging from ['dcr-merge'] to ['dcr-sync'], and (optionally) update the
title as desired.

If this merge pulls in a new upstream version, also consider adding an
entry to the resolute Release Notes:
https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/resolute-raccoon-release-notes/

### New Debian Changes ###

rsyslog (8.2510.0-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Cherry-pick various documentation build fixes from upstream Git.
    Vendor the JavaScript dependencies for better offline usage.
  * (Re-)add doc-base support for rsyslog-doc
  * Add lintian-overrides for no-debconf-templates to rsyslog-mysql and
    rsyslog-pgsql.
    Those packages use the dbconfig-common framework which provides the
    debconf templates for setting up a database connection.

 -- Michael Biebl <biebl@xxxxxxxxxx>  Fri, 24 Oct 2025 22:22:23 +0200

rsyslog (8.2510.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * New upstream version 8.2510.0
  * Rebase patches
  * Install new mmleefparse module.
    This module can be used to parse log messages that follow the IBM Log
    Event Extended Format (LEEF).
  * Update debian/copyright
  * Build rsyslog documentation and ship it in rsyslog-doc.
    It superseedes the standalone rsyslog-doc source package.
    Deviate from upstream and explicitly use sphinx_rtd_theme instead of the
    furo theme (smaller on-disk footprint of the resulting documentation,
    much faster build times).

 -- Michael Biebl <biebl@xxxxxxxxxx>  Wed, 15 Oct 2025 18:35:28 +0200

rsyslog (8.2506.0-6) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Use execute_{before,after} instead of override where possible
  * Avoid excessive usage of DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH and use wildcards instead
  * rsyslog-mysql and rsyslog-pgsql can be used in parallel.
    So don't mark them as alternative dependencies.
  * Stop setting the PYTHON interpreter path.
    No longer required.

 -- Michael Biebl <biebl@xxxxxxxxxx>  Wed, 08 Oct 2025 21:39:36 +0200

rsyslog (8.2506.0-5) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Drop Recommends: mongodb-server from rsyslog-mongodb.
    The mongodb(-server) package was removed from the archive in 2020 due to
    licensing issues. Remove the Recommends accordingly. (Closes: #1116112)

 -- Michael Biebl <biebl@xxxxxxxxxx>  Tue, 07 Oct 2025 17:06:51 +0200

rsyslog (8.2506.0-4) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Richard Lewis ]
  * Make autopkgtest work in containers without /proc/kmesg.
    If /proc/kmesg is not available (or not accessible), rsyslog will
    produce some extra error messages, which the default logcheck rules
    won't match, making the test fail: hide these with a local rule.
    (Closes: #1110192)

  [ Michael Biebl ]
  * Disable missing-breaks test for salsa-ci

 -- Michael Biebl <biebl@xxxxxxxxxx>  Thu, 28 Aug 2025 14:36:14 +0200

rsyslog (8.2506.0-3) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Rename debian-branch to debian/latest as per DEP-14
  * Fix cleanup of temporary files in autopkgtest
  * Add support for mongo-c-driver v2

 -- Michael Biebl <biebl@xxxxxxxxxx>  Sun, 17 Aug 2025 16:47:50 +0200

rsyslog (8.2506.0-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Upload to unstable

 -- Michael Biebl <biebl@xxxxxxxxxx>  Sun, 10 Aug 2025 21:42:56 +0200

rsyslog (8.2506.0-1) experimental; urgency=medium

  * New upstream version 8.2506.0
  * Rebase patches

 -- Michael Biebl <biebl@xxxxxxxxxx>  Sat, 02 Aug 2025 16:08:04 +0200


### Old Ubuntu Delta ###

    unix socket (LP: #2123821)
