Hello Michel, This file is the log of the information sent. This serves to protect your privacy : you can check exactly what was sent. There are software that rely on /var/log/popularity-contest, so they would need to be adapted but more importantly, being in /var/lib means the files would not be rotated which would be a problem. savelog -c 7 is in /etc/cron.daily/popularity-contest which is a configuration file already, so you can change it. Thanks for your interest in Debian popularity-contest! -- Bill. <ballo...@debian.org> Imagine a large red swirl here.
