The logrotate script that ships with pm-utils overrides the following variables which a user may want to set globally in /etc/logrotate.conf: compress -- Annoying. `zgrep`, for example, does not support `-r`. rotate 4 -- Dangerous. This dictates when logs are deleted. monthly -- Same as above. A few more points: * Global configuration is important for predictability and scripting. * If size on the filesystem is a concern, the user can: * set e-mail warnings * set filesize-based rotation limits * enable compression only for logs which he or she expects to grow * Logs are a security measure. Reproducible: Always
This sounds like a good idea but if you are on a quest to fix every logrotate out there, you'd better do a tracking bug and check on gentoo-dev mailing list that this is something we, as a distribution want to achieve as it will involve quite some work with upstream, etc. Such work could be coordinated with other distributions such as debian if it proved to be worthy.
