Bug 114148 – mail-filter/dspam-3.6.x does not create /var/log/dspam

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Chris Covington 2005-12-01 07:03:53 UTC]

Emerging dspam does not create /var/log:

videodrome ccovington # ls -l /var/log/dspam
ls: /var/log/dspam: No such file or directory

logs are in /var/spool/dspam:

videodrome ccovington # ls -l /var/spool/dspam/
total 22446
drwx------  2 root root      120 Nov 11 15:30 daemon.log
drwxrwx---  3 root mail       72 Nov  8 11:50 data
-rw-rw----  1 root mail 22961551 Dec  1 09:58 system.log

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge dspam
2. ls -l /var/log/dspam
3. ls -l /var/spool/dspam



Expected Results:  
the ebuild should create /var/log/dspam and the logs should be in that directory
for logrotate.

/var/db/pkg/mail-filter/dspam-3.6.2/dspam-3.6.2.ebuild contains:

# some FHS-like structure
HOMEDIR="/var/spool/dspam"
CONFDIR="/etc/mail/dspam"
LOGDIR="/var/log/dspam"

logrotate.dspam contains logrotation scripts for /var/log/dspam

dspam.conf doesn't contain a logging entry, so I'm not sure how to make dspam
log in /var/log/dspam.  If this isn't possible, the logging should go to
/var/spool/dspam and logrotate should rotate those.
