----------------------+--------------------
 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 It appears as if MacPorts' syslog-ng is years out of date behind upstream?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:

 {{{

 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.
