I've been able to do this and correctly make the rsyslog and rsyslog-mysql
packages, which are done through this spec file:

ftp://ftp.npgx.com.au/mmansour/specs/rsyslog_v1.19.0.spec

I've also wiki'ed this on:

http://wiki.rsyslog.com/index.php/Here_comes_the_first_story

Although I can continue to maintain this, I'm hoping Dag/Dries can takeover
the provision of the RPM's and specs from now on? I can then modify the Wiki
page to direct people to the rpmforge repo for packages and specs.

Michael.
