I have checked the rhel8 builds, the service file is not included in source any more, it has to be added  to the ebuild. The same for version 8.2010.0.

Are there any updates? I had to copy a Debian unit file for rsyslog to get things working again. It is very annoying that the unit file is missing. :-)

Same issue with 8.2012.0 version

I am going with the Debian service file.

I don't have a Gentoo systemd system at the moment to test.

I am not sure about the consequences of "Requires=syslog.socket" and I wonder if default rsyslog.conf should need a config directive to read from /run/systemd/journal/syslog to make sense.
