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.
Comment 3 Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-02-26 16:31:37 UTC
closing... just use logrotat.
