[ubuntu/karmic] rsyslog 4.2.0-1ubuntu1 (Accepted)

[Michael Terry]

rsyslog (4.2.0-1ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * Run as rsyslog:rsyslog (LP: #250827, LP: #388608)
    - debian/control: Depend on adduser
    - debian/rsyslog.postinst: Create syslog user
    - debian/rsyslog.postrm: Delete syslog user on purge
    - debian/rsyslog.conf: Use DropPriv config fields
  * Allow reading /proc/kmsg when non-root
    - debian/rsyslog.init: Spawn a dd instance that shovels the /proc/kmsg
      data to a pipe that rsyslog can read (based on Martin Pitt's similar
      change to sysklogd).
    - debian/patches/deroot.patch: Support a KLogPath config field
      to change where the klog plugin looks and only start input modules
      after we drop privileges, as reading when root interferes with
      future reads as syslog.
    - debian/rsyslog.conf: Use KLogPath field to point to dd pipe
  * Cleanly upgrade from sysklogd
    - debian/default.conf, debian/rsyslog.conf:
      Break out the default rules into their own config file
    - debian/rsyslog.install: Install it in /usr/share/rsyslog
    - debian/rsyslog.postinst: If present, copy /etc/syslog.conf into
      /etc/rsyslog.d/default.conf.  Then merge our own default.conf
