Release notes:
https://github.com/syslog-ng/syslog-ng/releases/tag/syslog-ng-4.8.1https://github.com/syslog-ng/syslog-ng/releases/tag/syslog-ng-4.8.0
Update the syslog-ng.conf.[systemd|sysvinit] files to align with
upstream's 4.8 version. This involved changing from stats_freq(0)
to stats(freq(0)) to avoid:
> WARNING: Your configuration file uses an obsoleted keyword, ...
as was done in:
2d3a8c783 packaging: Update the sample Debian config to not throw warning
The comments and the greater authentication/encryption defaults kept.
Note that the latter are comment lines.
Also kept a line from the 'Sources' section:
file("/proc/kmsg" program_override("kernel"));
but it's not clear if that's needed. It was in the original meta-oe version of
the file from 2018, version 3.15 but not the upstream syslog-ng-3.15.1.
With systemd enabled using poky-altcfg, there's a warning:
/etc/tmpfiles.d/syslog-ng.conf:1:
Line references path below legacy directory /var/run/,
updating /var/run/syslog-ng → /run/syslog-ng;
please update the tmpfiles.d/ drop-in file accordingly.
but that was present in the previous version and I won't take time
to fix it right now since systemd + syslog-ng isn't a common combination.

The service warned on startup about running in compatibility mode since the configuration version was "3.31" instead of "3.36".

1. Fix syslog-ng service cannot startup after upgrade to 3.15.1

and do_install in syslog-ng.inc

2. Fix "Failed to acquire /run/systemd/journal/syslog socket,
disabling systemd-syslog source;" accordint to below content
from syslog-ng admin guide.
1) for linux, If the host is running under systemd, syslog-ng
OSE reads directly from the systemd journal file using the
systemd-journal() source.
2) If possible, use the more reliable systemd-journal() driver
instead.
3) The socket activation of systemd is buggy, causing some log
messages to get lost during syst
