Just wondering if there has been any resolution or recommendation on the de=
pendency of libunwind in the base syslog-ng package?

I understand that many of the additional RPMs for syslog-ng require the EPE=

Libunwind is used to provide better crash reporting (and is also very helpf=
ul in debug builds).

It can be disabled using the `--disable-stackdump` or `-DENABLE_STACKDUMP=
=3DOFF` configure option.

The default state of this option is now `AUTO`, which checks for the presen=
ce of the libunwind library and automatically enables the stackdump feature=
 if it is available.
