RSYSLOG is the rocket-fast system for log processing.
It offers high-performance, great security features and a modular
design. While it started as a regular syslogd, rsyslog has evolved
into a kind of swiss army knife of logging, being able to accept
inputs from a wide variety of sources, transform them, and output to
the results to diverse destinations.
RSYSLOG can deliver over one million messages per second to local
destinations when limited processing is applied (based on v7, December
2013). Even with remote destinations and more elaborate processing the
performance is usually considered "stunning".

no longer contains any code around hostnames.

* Fix a failure when running `autoreconf` from autoconfigure-2.72

autoconfigure-2.71 successfully.

sysutils/rsyslog8: fix build with libressl, add DTLS option
rsyslog8 fails to build with libressl due to lack of support of the
SSL_CONF_CTX type. This occurs in a block of code only used by the
DTLS input and output modules, which are not enabled by default in the
FreeBSD port.
Therefore solve the build failure by making the problematic function
dependant on LIBRESSL_VERSION_NUMBER being defined (via
files/patch-runtime_net__ossl.c, obtained from github issue 5342 for
rsyslog). This is similar to previous libressl compatability fixes
from PR 254864.
While here, add a DTLS option to enable building the imdtls and omdtls
modules -- this does require linkage against openssl to compile
successfully. Additionally required patches are to add the necessary
header files for the pthread_kill(3) and close(2) prototypes. I have
not been able to test the functionality of the DTLS modules very
effectively and would be glad to hear of anyone's experiences with
them.

sysutils/rsyslog8: patch for forking issue due to close_range() call
Add patch from upstream:
https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/commit/599b5c7524b76cfc73245206fcce1e2b4d955f21
After fork if the child process uses close_range to close open file
descriptors it has no way to exempt the parentPipeFD causing a failure
to signal successful startup to the parent process. This causes
failures on all systems that aren't Linux that implement close_range.
1. Loop through file descriptors between beginClose and
MAX(parentPipeFD,dbgGetDbglogFd()) making sure not to close those two
file descriptors.
2. Potentially use close_range to close all file descriptors above
MAX(parentPipeFD,dbgGetDbglogFd())

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

sysutils/rsyslog8: update pkg-message and add sample config file
Upstream changes mean that the advice formerly given in pkg-message to
modify the default /etc/syslog.conf file as the basis of a new
${PREFIX}/etc/rsyslog.conf are now less useful and confusing to end
users.
Therefore, update the pkg-message accordingly, and install a sample
config file which should duplicated the functionality of the base
syslog.conf.

Prevent rsyslogd from writing log messages about TZ being unset in the
environment.
This is a putely cosmetic change, as the default behaviour according
to tzset(3) is:
```
If TZ does not appear in the environment, the best available
approximation to local wall clock time, as specified by the
tzfile(5)-format file /etc/localtime is used.
```
Slightly modified from the patch supplied by zi to use the rc.subr(8)
'${name}_env' variable.

Use the autoconf caching mechanism to set two variables thus
preventing configure from finding libinotify even if it is present.
This will have no effect on packages built in a clean environment, but

Set RFC5424 as the syslog(3) default for OSVER >= 1200061. See:
https://reviews.freebsd.org/D14951 This is primarily a convenience so
that users of rsyslog8 will not have to modify their rsyslog.conf when
upgrading to a version of FreeBSD that generates RFC5424 from
syslog(3). I will submit these patches upstream in due course.

rsyslog cannot use the Inotify emulation provided by the
devel/libinotify port -- the kqueue based emulation does not persist
over forking, unlike the genuine linux inotify.
However, the presence of certain header files will cause rsyslog to
attempt to unconditionally compile in Inotify support, and this breaks
the build.
Use CONFLICTS_BUILD to mark the incompatibility.
