the logwatch ebuild installs a file
/etc/cron.daily/logwatch
This file should be renamed to /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch
When logwatch and a log rotation program like logrotate are both installed, the
log rotation may happen before the logwatch scan becasue scripts in cron.* are
run in alphabetical order.
Chagning the name of the logwatch script to '0logwatch' should resolve this
problem by making the logwatch run first on the daily cron rotation. Many other
distributions already do this, and Gentoo should follow suit.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge logwatch
2. emerge logrotate
3. set a daily log rotation cycle for logrotate (e.g. high volume site)
4. watch logwatch return nothing, as your logs have been rotated out
Expected Results:
Logwatch should run first in the cron rotation, before any log trimming or
rotation program has an opportunity to trim/rotate the logs
