Please include syslog-ng package to Amazon Linux 2023

This package seems to be there in Fedora. In AL2023, we only have rsyslog, which is not capable reading from specific journald namespaces. Please add.

Does not seem to be implemented in rsyslog.

Updating their build tool to compile an RPM is a headache. It needs a newer version of bison than what's available in AL2023, and one required dependency (ivykis) is not available at all. Several of the optional dependencies in the RHEL .spec are also not available in AL2023.

It also claims to need ccache, which is not available, but the process fails before it needs it I guess.

ccache is just a cache for compilation - it really isn't needed by anything, it just helps if you're continuously doing thnigs like make; make clean; make

I added the request because the syslog-ng dbld tool claimed to need it. I agree it shouldn't be necessary but the build tool might want it anyway.

syslog-ng is also something we need for our AWS environments. It would be good if this could get some priority.
