Details
Description: The exim package supplies
/etc/logrotate.d/exim. This file is not part of the exim
source. I presume it was added by the package maintainer. As
a side note, I find it good the package supplies this file.
End of side note. Without verifying, I assume most Linux
distributions provides an exim package, and also most of
them supplies /etc/logrotate.d/exim along their exim
package. I want to raise the following issues:
1. The file /etc/logrotate.d/exim has a delaycompress line, but no compress line. According to https://man.archlinux.org/man/logrotate.8#delaycompress, "This only has effect when used in combination with compress". In my opinion, the compress directive should be added to the supplied file. 2. Should exim mentions logrotate as optdepends? Additional info: * package version(s): exim 4.96-2, and possibly many older. * config and/or log files etc. https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/exim/-/blob/main/exim.logrotate?ref_type=heads * link to upstream bug report, if any. None that I could find. Steps to reproduce: Examine https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/exim/-/blob/main/exim.logrotate?ref_type=heads |
