syslog-ng 4.8.3 was release approximately 18 hours ago:
https://github.com/syslog-ng/syslog-ng/releases/tag/syslog-ng-4.8.3
It appears as if MacPorts' syslog-ng is years out of date behind upstream?
I did a preliminary modification to the Portfile (see attached) and:
%port -v install
Seemed to go OK.
However, %port -vst install failed as follows:
{{{
port -vst install
---> Computing dependencies for syslog-ng.

Similarly % port test failed as follows:

I'm guessing that it's probably not a huge fuss to update the MacPorts'
patch to at least get % port -vst install happy?
But it's late and the port is listed as nomaintainer, so I figured I would
document my half hearted effort before slumber rather than just leave it
all locally and forget about it.
