I have similar gripes with logrotate.d. Most files in there are the ones I |
| 11 |
made myself. Specifically I have a different setup for the syslog files. |
| 12 |
In a different file. Everytime I merge a package I need to remove it |
| 13 |
again. |

A similar issue is with cron.{hourly,daily,weekly,monthly}. One might not |
| 16 |
want to run updatedb every day, but every week. Moving the file |
| 17 |
accomplishes that until an update puts the file in again. Only making a |
| 18 |
fake file "fixes" that. |
