Makes sense to me, they are far more dependent on the distro decisions than anything we provide.

Hi Rainer:

  Our source of truth for rsyslog.service has always been the copy packaged 
with the OS, and all modifications to it have come from vendor and systemd 
documentation.  I do not personally see a need for that file to reside in the 
rsyslog repo.

Hi all,

the git repository contains rsyslog.service sample files. Actually,
these have not been updated for years and do no longer match distro
policies.

Thankfully, Michael Biebl sent a PR to update the Debian parts. We had
a small discussion about the usefulness of these files at all. Michael
would be fine with removing them, and I think this is probably the
wisest  thing to do. After all, these are not guinea rsyslog files.

Instead, we can replace them with hints where to look inside the
distro repositories. But I would not tend to do big research to find
all of them.

The PR is this one:

https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/pull/5252

Question now: does anybody object to removing the rsyslog.service
files? If so, why is it important to keep them - and maybe how to
better maintain them.

TIA,
Rainer
