Subject: [gentoo-dev] New global USE flag: logrotate

1 Hi,
2
3 I'd like to propose a new global USE flag named 'logrotate' to add
4 support for app-admin/logrotate (by installing logrotate config files
5 to /etc/logrotate.d/).
6
7 There are currently one local USE flag named logrotate in
8 net-proxy/squid, which of course isn't enough to justify having a global
9 USE flag - but it seems other packages, at least app-admin/syslog-ng,
10 currently unconditionally install a config file to /etc/logrotate.d/.
11
12 There are 4 open enhancement requests in Gentoo bugzilla about ebuilds
13 which could install such a config file, and I am sure many other ebuilds
14 could as well (anything that logs to a file).
15
16 If there are no objections to this I will make 'logrotate' a global USE
17 flag once I add a logrotate config file to sys-power/acpid.
18
19 Sincerely,
20 Brix
