Bug#1076809: libparse-syslog-perl: does not support RFC3339 timestamps

[Roland Rosenfeld]

Package: libparse-syslog-perl
Version: 1.10-4
Severity: normal
Forwarded: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=63897
Tags: patch upstream
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-perl at lists.debian.org

Dear Maintainer,

in Debian 12 rsyslog generates RFC3339 timestamps in the logs, which
looks like
 2024-07-22T06:25:47.214320+02:00
that cannot be parsed by Parse::Syslog 1.10.

This issue is known upstream (see
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=63897).

I extracted the patch to fix this from upstream bug report, added a
little test fixup (to the tests work with time zone different to CET)
and this looks good for me.

If you like, I could do a team upload with these patches applied and
maybe some housekeeping...
(maybe including a backports upload, since this hurts with the time
format change in rsyslog in Debian 12).

Or is it bad style to fix upstream "missing features" in Debian
package if upstream seems to be "inactive"?  I don't know the team
policy here...

Greetings
Roland
