Epylog is a syslog parser which runs periodically,
looks at your logs, processes some of the entries
in order to present them in a more comprehensible format,
and then mails you the output.
It is written specifically for large network clusters
where a lot of machines (around 50 and upwards) log to the
same loghost using syslog or syslog-ng.
It is an alternative to a similar package, called LogWatch.
The epylog engine should work on most unix systems running
Python-2.2 and above, although currently the processing modules
are only written to work with linux (and particularly Red Hat Linux
series 7 and above).
However, other unix and linux flavors should work fine,
as long as they use standard logging facilities and things like PAM.

2014-04-01 print/pdfmod: Depends on expired devel/hyena, unstaged, uses old
standards
2014-04-01 security/gnutls-devel: Stale, broken and vulnerable
2014-04-01 sysutils/epylog: distfiles no longer fetchable
2014-04-01 japanese/Wnn6: Unmaintained, interactive and restricted

2014-04-01 devel/adasdl: Ancient, does not build on amd64; use devel/sdl_gnat
instead
2014-04-01 lang/gnat: The Ada framework is based on lang/gcc-aux, use it instead
Remove more tags from pkg-descr files fo the form:
- Name
em@i.l
or variations thereof. While I'm here also fix some whitespace and other
formatting errors, including moving WWW: to the last line in the file.
Bump portrevision due to upgrade of devel/gettext.
The affected ports are the ones with gettext as a run-dependency
according to ports/INDEX-7 (5007 of them) and the ones with USE_GETTEXT
in Makefile (29 of them).
