Hi @seyeongkim, it's best to reply to tickets using the text box, and to
click "Affects me too", rather than to edit the ticket description; the
result isn't easily readable then.

Title:
  Please re-add [pm]mnormalize

Status in rsyslog package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The Debian packaging contains these lines:
  https://salsa.debian.org/debian/rsyslog/-/blob/debian/master/debian/rules#L43

    --enable-pmnormalize \
    --enable-mmnormalize \

  AFAIK these were removed because liblognorm was in universe:

      - Drop [mm|pm]normalize modules, depending on liblognorm from universe.
        + d/rules: drop --enable-mmnormalize & --enable-pmnormalize
        + d/control: drop build dependency on liblognorm-dev

  But later on liblognorm was re-added:

    * Re-add build-dependency on liblognorm-dev, also needed for
      rsyslog-kubernetes.

  So these very useful modules are now excluded from the build for no reason.
  Please re-enable them as they're needed in order to receive logs from switches that send non-standard dates, for example:

  Also a customer requested us to bring those modules back to utilize advanced configurations.

  Thanks.
