unowned directory problem with /etc/logrotate.d

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

Many packages drop config files for logrotate in /etc/logrotate.d. without requiring logrotate, which is the owner of
/etc/logrotate.d, thus potentially leading to an unowned /etc/logrotate.d for users who don't want logrotate and thus remove it.

I see 2 solutions for this:
1) Add "Requires: logrotate" to all packages which put files in /etc/logrotate.d. IMHO this is not good as the user should be able
  to choose if he wants logrotate or not.
2) Add /etc/logrotate.d to the filesystem package, this is my preferred solution.

I would like to hear what others think, before filing a bug against filesystem requesting 2) .

Regards,

Hans
