Comment 2 for bug 671533

Lorenzo,

thanks for working on this. However, a lot of the existing delta isn't necessary any more, can you please clean up the merge a bit?

- sysklogd -> rsyslog upgrade was done pre-lucid (LTS), so all the upgrade handling can be dropped.
- init script changes are obsolete, even when actually using the init script (which we don't, we have the upstart script); rsyslog can read directly from /proc/kmsg now
- deroot.patch was introduced to support earlier kernels, at the time when the /proc/kmsg fix just made it upstream. I think it's safe to drop now, we don't support running natty on pre-karmic kernels.
- the splitout of 50-default.conf should be sent to Debian, or reverted if they reject it. We shouldn't carry this as a delta forever IMHO.

Thanks!

I'll unsubscribe sponsors, and subscribe myself, I'll handle the sponsoring once this is ready.
