developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
v 0.9.1b 2004/02/06
* fixed bug introduced 2004/02/05 which caused true default
options, such as INCDEPTH, to be destroyed when new options
blocks are defined
v 0.9b 2004/02/05
* fixed bug that caused some duplicate definitions of directives
to add to previous definitions, rather than replace them
bug id 631657
* fixed OPTION->INDEX to report an error if an invalid INDEX
value is specified
* directives can now be specified with no data. Combined with
the above fix for duplicate directives, this has the effect
that any directive can now be unset, even when originally
specified in the OPTIONS block
bug id 631660
* fixed bug that would result in syslogd being signalled on every
execution of sarah
bug id 891554
* fixed output in verbose mode that would cause sarah to try to
print file type as well as permissions when doing a chmod on
rotated files
2002/05/10
* fixed bug introduced on 2002/05/06 that causes sarah to die in
mid-rotation if DATE indexing is used.
* complete rewrite of log rotation logic -- old bug would cause
logs to always rotate when SIZELOGIC is OR, DATE is defined,
and SIZE is not defined
2002/05/06
* changed the way day-of-week matching is done to fix support for
OSes that don't comply with XPG4, such as Solaris pre-8.0
2002/02/28
* SIZE directive takes magnitude attribute (deprecated SIZEMOD)
v 0.8b 2002/02/13
* SARAH now released under the GNU GPL. Added and changed
licensing information in the necessary places.
Use pkgsrc config file handling framework.
around at either build-time or at run-time is:
USE_TOOLS+= perl # build-time
USE_TOOLS+= perl:run # run-time
Also remove some places where perl5/buildlink3.mk was being included
by a package Makefile, but all that the package wanted was the Perl
executable.
o move sarah.conf.sample from ${PREFIX}/etc to ${PREFIX}/share/examples/sarah
Update sarah to 0.7b
Changes:
v 0.7b 2001/10/01
* all directives may now be specified within an OPTIONS{} block to set
defaults
* when both '-c' and '-V' options are used, sarah will dump
interpreted config file(s) to STDOUT
* fixed archive rotation bug: a regex to match file.log.xx would also
match myfile.log.xx, causing rotation of file.log to fail
v 0.6b 2001/02/09
* added INDEX command to allow date-based archive naming
* added quiet mode (-q argument)
v 0.5b 2001/01/04
* fixed timing bug -- DATE based log rotations would fail if the
minute changed during the run
From the README file:
Licensing for the current version of sarah is quite simple: I (Matthew
Pounsett) retain all rights to this code. Anyone is free to use sarah, but it
may not be redistributed either in its original or any modified form without
the permission of the author (me). A more reasonable license will be
distributed with later versions of sarah (probably with the first non-beta
release).
Sarah is a program which is used to trim, rotate, archive and delete log
files. It is meant to run periodically out of cron, determining what to do
based on a configuration file.
