In fact the man page seems to be completely out of sync with reality. None of minage, maxage, minsize and maxsize appear to work at all despite being documented there. Minage is read at least (according to debug output), but then still ignored. Specifying minsize or maxsize has no effect, logs are rotated when they hit 1 M regardless. At least the plain `size` directive does appear to work as documented.

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.
