[Bug 388605] Re: [MIR] rsyslog

[Andreas Hasenack]

We would like to retroactively promote rsyslog-gnutls, a binary package
built from src:rsyslog (subject of this completed MIR), into main.

rsyslog-gnutls provides a gnutls plugin which allows rsyslog to encrypt
the data it sends to log servers. We believe this is a common scenario,
and very much needed for compliance nowadays, and this package should be
in main because of that.

rsyslog-gnutls was already part of this MIR, but was left in universe
because nothing pulled it into main (dependency or seed change).

I didn't see any comments here in the bug, or in the MIR report
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MainInclusionReport/rsyslog), that would be
specific about rsyslog-gnutls and why it should not be promoted. There
was just a list of dependencies, and they were ok for main inclusion,
and remain so to this date:

bionic: 8.32.0-1ubuntu4
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.14), libgnutls30 (>= 3.5.6), rsyslog (= 8.32.0-1ubuntu4)
Suggests: gnutls-bin

Depends are all in main, and Suggests is in universe, which is ok.


focal: 8.2001.0-1ubuntu1.1
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.14), libgnutls30 (>= 3.6.12), rsyslog (= 8.2001.0-1ubuntu1.1)
Suggests: gnutls-bin

Same deps.


groovy: 8.2006.0-2ubuntu1
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.14), libgnutls30 (>= 3.6.12), rsyslog (= 8.2006.0-2ubuntu1)
Suggests: gnutls-bin

Same deps.


Hirsute: 8.2102.0-2ubuntu1
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.33), libgnutls30 (>= 3.7.0), rsyslog (= 8.2102.0-2ubuntu1)
Suggests: gnutls-bin

Same deps.

None are related to encryption support.
