Package: straw
Version: 0.25.1-5
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

I was annoyed by the (huge) log files Straw created in my home
directory. I was used to delete them from time to time (rm
~/.straw/log.0*). I backup regularly my home over the network and I
don't want unuseful big files in it. However, by digging the
documentation of Bekeley DB, I found a neat trick. A user can create a
DB_CONFIG file in the database directory to change the log location
(sample attached). I think it would be useful to document this in the
README.Debian file.
