Description Till Schäfer 2011-04-16 15:40:09 UTC

kde-base/kdm always places a logrotate file to /etc/logrotate.d/kdm. I have a generic rule for *.log in my main config, so this rule conflicts with it. There should be a useflag that allows to disable the logrotate file.

Reproducible: Always

Logrotate useflag is not to be used and these files are unconditionaly installed on your system. You can alter your configuration to ignore specific files if you need to.

Usually i want all files in "/etc/logrotate.d/". So i included that directory. Is there a config option that allows to ignore one specific file? I could also include all single files i like to use, but than i alway have to change the config file whenever another program places a logrotate file there.
