syslog-ng @3.38.1_0 conflicts with eventlog @0.2.12_0

They both try to install a libevtlog.dylib:

This conflict should either be marked, or fixed.

hey, thanks, Eric.

Which do you prefer?

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

The eventlog port is super old and has no dependents; can probably be replaced_by syslog-ng.

Replying to kencu:

Whichever is easier
