Popcon reads ~0.9% machines with the package installed. I'd guess most (larger) installations won't partiticipate in popcon (or at least not with all machines), so the "real" count is probably larger. Of course it isn't a mainstream product, but it is well-known. Ideally, logrotate would use the same namespace as run-parts does: | If neither the --lsbsysinit option nor the --regex option is | given then the names must consist entirely of upper and lower case | letters, digits, underscores, and hyphens. | | If the --lsbsysinit option is given, then the names must not end in | .dpkg-old or .dpkg-dist or .dpkg-new or .dpkg-tmp, and must belong | to one or more of the following namespaces: the | LANANA-assigned namespace (^[a-z0-9]+$); the LSB hierarchical | and reserved namespaces (^_?([a-z0-9_.]+-)+[a-z0-9]+$); and the | Debian cron script namespace (^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]*$). > Surely it would be better to put "tabooext + .cfsaved" in the master > config's /etc/logrotate.conf and have that propagate round? Currently we use /etc/logrotate.conf as shipped by logrotate.deb, and distribute just some snippets in /etc/logrotate.d/. > I'll bear this suggestion in mind for the next upload. Thanks.
