Public bug reported:
The man page for logrotate says "Each configuration file can set global
options (local definitions override global ones, and later definitions
override earlier ones)". This is inconsistent with how it actually
behaves.
== Steps to reproduce ==
$ logrotate --version
logrotate 3.14.0
Default mail command: /usr/bin/mail
Default compress command: /bin/gzip
Default uncompress command: /bin/gunzip
Default compress extension: .gz
Default state file path: /var/lib/logrotate/status
ACL support: yes
SELinux support: yes
$ mkdir /tmp/logrotest
$ cd /tmp/logrotest
$ touch test.log
$ touch other.log
$ cat >logrotate.conf
/tmp/logrotest/*.log {
minsize 5M
}
/tmp/logrotest/test.log {
minsize 1M
}
$ logrotate --state /tmp/logrostate logrotate.conf
== What happens ==
error: logrotate.conf:5 duplicate log entry for
/tmp/logrotest/test.log
== What I expect to happen instead ==
No error, test.log being processed with its specific, later-defined
directives.
