To start using rsyslogd(8), stop syslogd(8) if it is running and add the following lines to rc.conf(5): syslogd_enable="NO" rsyslogd_enable="YES" For best results, create a new configuration file /usr/local/etc/rsyslog.conf rather than trying to re-use the original /etc/syslog.conf -- the configuration file syntax has diverged over time, and it's no longer anywhere near compatible. The port will install an example configuration file which should provide the same logging setup as the default /etc/syslog.conf newsyslog(8) has the path of syslogd's pid file hardcoded. To make it work seamlessly with rsyslog, add this: rsyslogd_pidfile="/var/run/syslog.pid"
- Note
- Size, dependencies, options and messages are those of rsyslog.

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 it will make it easier to just build ad-hoc out of the ports tree.

Second try at fixing linking problems with the OPENSSL option is selected. PR: 230913 Submitted by: Axel.Rau@Chaos1.DE2e27de97c2
Add a new OPENSSL option as an alternative to GNUTLS. This parallels a simlar fix to librelp, and tracks the upstream project's intention to switch from gnutls to openssl over time. The default remains to not compile in any TLS support in rsyslog8. PR: 230913a271060745

Update to 8.36.0 Upstream is deprecating liblogging-stdlog.so.0, but we still need the devel/liblogging port because we link against liblogging-rfc3195.so.0 -- adjust the dependency accordingly. ChangeLog: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/blob/v8.36.0/ChangeLoge9f0056b28
Update to 8.35.0 - allow for BUILD_DEPENDS py-docutils to be flavoured. This avoids rebuilding the dependency every time in some environments where rst2man ends up being installed with a version tag. ChangeLog: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/blob/v8.35.0/ChangeLog8f1033b633
Update to 8.34.0 Add patches to configuration system to allow specifying whether syslog(3) generates RFC5424 format messages, instead of RFC3164. 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.d1fcfca6c9

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.
