Bug 25035 – freenet doesn't clean log files; can we add a cron job in ebuild?

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Wesley Leggette 2003-07-22 00:18:30 UTC]

Freenet doesn't clean up it's log file /var/log/freenet.log. For myself, I've
written a simple script (just tail -n 10 /var/log/freenet.log....). Can we
include this kind of thing in the freenet ebuild?

If yes, what's a good default to tail by? 10? 20? 50? 100?

And of course, if I can I'd love to do the work of putting this in the ebuild.
So, how would I do that?

I think the proper way to handle this is for the freenet ebuild to drop
a file in /etc/logrotate.d and have the ebuild RDEPEND on app-admin/logrotate.

Didn't know that existed. Well, I'm going to work on that then.

closing... just use logrotat.
