Package: logrotate Version: 3.18.0-2+deb11u1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
"hourly" rotation was added to logrotate in 2019(?). However, the Debian systemd Timer runs "daily" so "hourly" logrotate jobs are still only run daily. Updating /etc/systemd/system/timers.target.wants/logrotate.timer: ... [Timer] OnCalendar=hourly ... should allow "logrotate hourly" to work as expected. See https://github.com/logrotate/logrotate/issues/249#issuecomment-485829363 "The tricky part is that one needs to change the default cron hook (or systemd timer) to make hourly actually work as expected."
