[rsyslog] rsyslog 1.19.8 released

[Rainer Gerhards]

Hi Michael,

sorry for the late reply, have been quite busy with astronomy day in
Germany. Back to rsyslog...

That sounds exactly like what I would love to have. However, I am no
autotools expert. If you (or someone else) can lend me a helping hand in
creating the necessary config files for autotools, I will gladly do it
in that way.

The current setup has two things that I do not really like:

a) the need for two tarballs

I do not know how to integrate the full structure in a single "make
dist". And I do not like to simply include the *full* ommysql subdir
within the extra_dist make target - that gets me a lot of files I really
don't need. 

b) need to specify version twice

Currently, ommsysql has its own version definition in its configure.ac.
It's error prone and I know I'll mess up with it sooner or later. That
makes sense once it is a totally independent package, but not at the
time being.

Ideally, I would like autotools to know the dependencies and create
things correctly.

As said, any help is deeply appreciated. 

Rainer
