syslog-ng is an enhanced log daemon, supporting a wide range of input and
output methods: syslog, unstructured text, message queues, databases (SQL
and NoSQL alike) and more.
Key features:
* receive and send RFC3164 and RFC5424 style syslog messages
* work with any kind of unstructured data
* receive and send JSON formatted messages
* classify and structure logs with builtin parsers (csv-parser(),
db-parser(), ...)
* normalize, crunch and process logs as they flow through the system
* hand on messages for further processing using message queues (like
AMQP), files or databases (like PostgreSQL or MongoDB).

Fix build due to missing dependencies and false detection of mongodb.
Change reminder for when this port replaces PORTREVISION with
DISTVERSION when next beta is available. This is to avoid a PORTEPOCH
bump.
Update to 3.8.0 beta2.

Cleanup $() variables in ports Makefiles.
Mostly replace with ${}, but sometime, replace with $$() because it is
what was intended in the first place. (I think.)

Install net/libnet headers and libraries back in the location where other
ports expect it. The files were put in a different location to avoid a
conflict with net/libnet10 but this port has been removed a while ago now.

Update 3.7.0a2 --> 3.7.1
- openssl became a mandatory dependency
- python and java support are moved from the incubator to syslog-ng core
(well, on FreeBSD they are brand new, as it did not work previously at
all...).
Not quite production ready: Java support does not work as it involves
downloading a truckload of JAR files.

Update 3.6.0r1 --> 3.6.0r2
- enabled JSON by default (it's getting popular, and syslog-ng
complains at startup if unavailable)
- added scl.conf to default config
- enabled the system() source by default (which handles differences
automagically among different platforms and releases)

PCRE is no longer an option. PCRE support is dragged in by glib as well

sysutils/syslog-ng-devel: Unbreak everywhere (caused by unintalled docs)
I spent a long while trying to figure out why the GNU makefile just
suddenly stopped installing five man pages. I never did understand what
changed externally to cause that.
In the end, I took a shortcut and just manually installed the man pages
in the post-install target that was already being used. That is simple
and robust.
- Add staging support.
- Handle scl.conf like syslog-ng.conf (with scl.conf.dist).
- Always install syslog-ng.conf.sample/dist, since they are example files.
- Use mkdir -p in pkg-plist to fix warning during reinstallations/upgrades.
- Sort pkg-plist.
- General cleanup.

Update from 3.4.0rc2 to 3.4.1 (GA release).

update be committed to the syslog-ng-devel port instead of the main
syslog-ng port.

MF sysutils/syslog-ng:
Miscellaneous fixes:
- Fix installation and removal of default configuration: the package
installs syslog-ng.conf.sample, but the port installs syslog-ng.conf.dist
which is also used in the @unexec test.
- Remove empty sgml directory in DOCSDIR (which was not installed by the
package and produced warnings on pkg-delete).
- Install patterndb.d directory from pkg-plist, and use @dirrmtry to remove it.
- Building without libnet.

Resurrect the devel branch. Update from 3.3.1 to 3.4.0alpha1.

Feature safe: yes
In the rc.d scripts, change assignments to rcvar to use the
literal name_enable wherever possible, and ${name}_enable
when it's not, to prepare for the demise of set_rcvar().
In cases where I had to hand-edit unusual instances also
modify formatting slightly to be more uniform (and in
some cases, correct). This includes adding some $FreeBSD$
tags, and most importantly moving rcvar= to right after
name= so it's clear that one is derived from the other.
Update to 3.3.1.
Peter Czanik <czanik@balabit.hu>, our syslog-ng upline, recommended we put
3.3.1 into syslog-ng-devel first, then commit to sysutils/syslog-ng in a week.
