pkgsrc changes:
---------------
Update MASTER_SITES. Now requires curl to fetch on https mirror.
Upstream changes:
-----------------
3.8.3 -> 3.8.4
- Added --version command line option
- Disable ACL tests if logrotate is not compiled WITH_ACL support or if
ACLs are not supported by the system running tests
- Disable SELinux tests if logrotate is not compiled WITH_SELINUX support
or if SELinux is not supported by the system running tests
- Fixed bug which prevented skipping particular log file config
if the config contained errors.
- Fixed skipping of configs containing firstaction/lastaction scripts
with '}' character in case of error before these scripts.
- Support also 'K' unit for *size directives.
- Added preremove option to let admin to do something with the old logs
before they are removed by logrotate.
- Fixed possible loop in tabooext parsing.
- Move code to set SELinux context before compressLogFile calls to create
compressed log files with the proper context.
- Call prerotate/postrotate script only for really rotated files in
nosharedscripts mode (as stated in man page).
PR pkg/47581 by Nils Ratusznik.
3.8.2 -> 3.8.3
- Fixed setting "size" bigger than 4GB on 32bit architectures
- Do not overwrite mode set by "create" option when using ACL. "create"
directive is now not mixed up with ACLs. If you use "create" in config
file and log file has some ACLs set, ACLs are not kept and are
overwritten by the mode set in "create" directive.
- Mode argument in "create" directive can be omitted. Only owner and group
is set in this case. Check man page for more info.
Changes:
- show error and ignore config if '{' is not present after log files declaration
- support whitespaces in compressoptions directive
- support for tilde expansion in config files
- fixed mail sending for 'mailfirst', 'dateext' and 'delaycompress' combination
- do not use gzip/gunzip from /usr/local on Solaris
- Do not include alloca.h on NetBSD, since alloca() is declared in stdlib.h there
The logrotate utility is designed to simplify the administration of
log files on a system which generates a lot of log files. Logrotate
allows for the automatic rotation compression, removal and mailing of
log files. Logrotate can be set to handle a log file daily, weekly,
monthly or when the log file gets to a certain size. Normally,
logrotate runs as a daily cron job.
