[rsyslog] rsyslog 3.21.11 and gnutls

[David Gillies]

Thanks Rainer,

I haven't had a chance to build rsyslog against RHEL's gnutls but I'll
give it a try tomorrow and report back.

In regards to your side note, I actually just used the rsyslog spec file
from the fedora project:

http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/devel/rsyslog/ 

In that CVS repo there's the spec file and a couple of other pieces
which makes rsyslog fit into a RHEL/Fedora/CentOS box in the Red Hat way
of doing things.

I believe the fedora project are using that spec file for FC10 and FC11
but I've had no issues with it on RHEL5/CentOS5.

This is not a hard requirement as long as the older version links. The
2.0.0 was a conservative choice we made when adding the check logic. I
don't have a version with an older release to test, but I think I
initially developed it with 1.something. So if you can confirm that the
compile/link successes with 1.4.1,  I'll happily change the check
condition.

As a side-note, do you have the RPMs available publically? Or would like
to contribute them? A lot of folks have recently asked for RHEL RPMs...
