Package: wtmpdb
Version: 0.13.0-5
Severity: normal
wtmpdb will rotate logs but nothing will prune them (like logrotate would for
other types of log - unfortunately it doesn't fit in well with the wtmpdb way).
Also logs shouldn't be in a state directory like /var/lib. We can forgive the
live database being there, perhaps.
One solution I have in mind is:
- add 'wtmpdb rotate --dest DIR' option
- change timer/cron files to dump rotated files in /var/log
- after rotation, prune files keeping a minimum age and count
- configuration is by editing the unit/cron files
I think we can set some long defaults - we just don't want unbounded
accumulation!
