Bug 197449 – sys-apps/portage: make logrotate optional via a USE flag

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Pacho Ramos 2007-10-29 19:27:43 UTC]

I would prefer that logrotate doesn't rotate /var/log/elog/summary.log file, then, I think that would be better add a logrotate USE flag for preventing /etc/logrotate.d/elog-save-summary creation

Thanks

Reproducible: Always

Use INSTALL_MASK if you don't want this.

[Comment 2 Pacho Ramos 2007-10-30 15:12:04 UTC]

But, Why not add a USE flag for this purpose like other packages do?

I'd rather file a bug to have the flag removed from other packages, which was already done w/ USE=udev. Use flag for installing one plaintext file is just crazy.
