Installing rsyslog, I get this message: It's recommended to copy syslog.conf(5) to /usr/local/etc/rsyslog.conf and edit it there. Otherwise add this: rsyslogd_config="/etc/syslog.conf" But if I do that and start rsyslogd I get: rsyslogd: BSD-style blocks are no longer supported in rsyslog, see https://www.rsyslog.com/g/BSD for details and a solution (Block '!-devd') [v8.2110.0 try https://www.rsyslog.com/e/2304 ]

Therefore, update the pkg-message accordingly, and install a sample config file which should duplicated the functionality of the base syslog.conf.
