Ubuntu Repository legacy
The Adiscon Ubuntu Repository has been setup to provide support for the latest rsyslog versions on Ubuntu including support for necessary third party packages. Please note that the Ubuntu Repository is open for testing at the moment, and contains the latest RSyslog version. Currently supported Ubuntu Versions:
- Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty)
- Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander)
- Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise)
Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal) (Not Updated anymore)
Currently supported RSyslog Branches:
- v8-devel
- v8-stable
v7-devel (Not Updated anymore)- v7-stable
The new packages are based in the original and latest Ubuntu 12 rsyslog packages, so in most cases an simple sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade will be enough to update rsyslog. Please note that these packages are currently experimental. Use at your own risk.
Add our PPA Repository using the classic method:
- Install our PGP Key into your apt system

- Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and add these lines to the end replace v8-devel with v7-stable or v8-stable if you want to use the RSYSLOG stable packages.
