Package: logrotate
Version: 3.7.1-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

please allow log file names to be read from a file, like:

@include /var/cache/syslog/filelist {
    size 2M
    create 0640 root adm
    postrotate
      /etc/init.d/sysklogd reload
    endscript
}

This should cause the rules set inside the braces to be applied to all
files listed in /var/cache/syslog/filelist. This would be a great ease
for setups where the list of files to be rotated is deduced from
daemon configuration (as it is the case with syslog [still using
savelog in Debian] and web servers).

Greetings
Marc
