Our sysutils/syslog-ng port uses the libevtlog.so from the
sysutils/eventlog port instead of the version shipped with syslog-ng.
However, eventlog doesn't seem to be developed outside of syslog-ng
anymore. The last commit to https://github.com/balabit/eventlog
was in 2015 and the source shipped with syslog-ng has added APIs
not present in our port.
Is it time to retire the eventlog port and just have syslog-ng use
the bundled copy or would it be worth patching the port to support
the APIs required by newer syslog-ng? My ultimate goal is to update
the syslog-ng port (mostly done) but this is standing in my way.
As far as I can tell the only other port that depends on eventlog
is syslog-ng itself.
Thoughts?
