acpid has a log file, that grows rather quickly. I think it should automatically install a logrotate config file to trim that.
This would put an unnecessary dependency on app-admin/logrotate. You're free to tweak your own logrotate configuration to take the acpid log into consideration.
There's no need to depend on logrotate, just provide a sample default logrotate config file. Many other packages do the same thing in gentoo without depending on logrotate. (apache, cups, mysql...)
Ok, reopening.
Created attachment 57308 [details] acpid logrotate config file That's my own acpid config file for logrotate.
Fixed in sys-power/acpid-1.0.4-r2. Thank you for reporting this.
