Description Nicolas Bock 2004-07-25 20:09:15 UTC

I am rotating my log files, including emerge.log. It would be nice if genlop would be able to read a compressed file directly using the "-f" option. Of course  if it were able to scan through a number of files (maybe concatenating them internally) that would be even better :) For example one could imagine an option like this

genlop -f "emerge.log emerge.log.?.bz2"

to specify that genlop should consider all the files given.

Reproducible: Always

please send that to upstream (we only maintain the ebuild).
