v0 and v1 are deprecated and no longer supported. If you absolutely do not like to upgrade, you may consider purchasing a commercial rsyslog support package. Just let us point out that it is really not a good idea to still run a v0 version.

If you updgrade from version 2, be sure to read the rsyslog v3 compatibility document.

(How are versions named?)

Platforms

Thankfully, a number of folks have begin to build packages and help port rsyslog to other platforms. As such, the platform list is now maintained inside the rsyslog wiki. Platform maintainers perhaps have posted extra information there. If you do platform-specific work, feel free to add information to the wiki.

Rsyslog is the default syslogd in Fedora 8 and above.
