rsyslog packages
Thanks to some volunteers, rsyslog is also available in package form on some distributions. All currently known packages are listed below. If I have forgotten one or if you would like to maintain a package for a new distribution, please mail me at rgerhards@adiscon.com. Any help is *deeply* appreciated. While I create the core daemon, the package maintainers are really filling it with life, making it available to the average user. I am very grateful for that!

- Almost any Linux
- Bennet Todd maintains packages that should work on almost any Linux. He keeps a current i386 tree. There is also a PPC tree, but that one is not paid much attention for (anyhow, it is known to typically work well, too). Please visit http://bent.latency.net/bent/, select the relevant tree and then do a search for rsyslog. Please note, however, that as of this writing the versions in this repository have been aged a bit. So it may be worth trying to find some other places first.
Just in case you are interested, the list of distribution is sorted by alphabetic order of the distribution name.
If you do not find a suitable package for your distribution, there is no reason to panic. It is quite simple to install rsyslog from the source tarball, so you should consider that.
