Package: apache2 Version: 2.4.10-2 Severity: important Preliminary note: this particular bug is not about the default, but silent configuration change.
Due to * Keep fewer logs by default. Instead of 52 weekly logs, keep 14 daily logs. The daily graceful restart also has the advantage of regenerating things like TLS session ticket keys more often. Closes: #759382 the /etc/logrotate.d/apache2 file, which is a user configuration file, has silently been modified, not due to internal change (such as an option rename), but with a real change of the behavior. It is really bad to change user configuration without asking him first. Contrary to what the changelog says, it is not just the default that has changed, but the configuration of existing apache2 web servers (actually the rotation of their log files), which may have run like that for years. This is almost against the Debian policy, which says that local changes must be preserved (this would be a serious bug). In this particular case, this is not a local change, but only because the Debian package had some default settings that could be fine for the user, and there was no way for the user to explicitly say that he wanted to choose (keep) this configuration. After noticing this change with a manual diff on one machine, with diffmon the day after on another machine (otherwise it would have remained unnoticed), I had to change it back manually. -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages apache2 depends on: ii apache2-bin 2.4.10-2 ii apache2-data 2.4.10-2 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian13 ii mime-support 3.56 ii perl 5.20.0-6 ii procps 1:3.3.9-7 Versions of packages apache2 recommends: ii ssl-cert 1.0.34 Versions of packages apache2 suggests: ii apache2-doc 2.4.10-2 pn apache2-suexec-pristine | apache2-suexec-custom <none> ii apache2-utils 2.4.10-2 ii epiphany-browser [www-browser] 3.12.1-1 ii iceape [www-browser] 2.7.12-1+b1 ii iceweasel [www-browser] 24.8.0esr-1~deb7u1 ii links [www-browser] 2.8-2 ii links2 [www-browser] 2.8-2 ii lynx-cur [www-browser] 2.8.9dev1-2 ii midori [www-browser] 0.4.3+dfsg-0.1 ii surf [www-browser] 0.6-1 ii uzbl [www-browser] 0.0.0~git.20120514-1.1 ii w3m [www-browser] 0.5.3-17 Versions of packages apache2-bin depends on: ii libapr1 1.5.1-3 ii libaprutil1 1.5.3-3 ii libaprutil1-dbd-sqlite3 1.5.3-3 ii libaprutil1-ldap 1.5.3-3 ii libc6 2.19-11 ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.39-1.1+b1 ii liblua5.1-0 5.1.5-7 ii libpcre3 1:8.35-3 ii libssl1.0.0 1.0.1i-2 ii libxml2 2.9.1+dfsg1-3 ii perl 5.20.0-6 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2 Versions of packages apache2-bin suggests: ii apache2-doc 2.4.10-2 pn apache2-suexec-pristine | apache2-suexec-custom <none> ii epiphany-browser [www-browser] 3.12.1-1 ii iceape [www-browser] 2.7.12-1+b1 ii iceweasel [www-browser] 24.8.0esr-1~deb7u1 ii links [www-browser] 2.8-2 ii links2 [www-browser] 2.8-2 ii lynx-cur [www-browser] 2.8.9dev1-2 ii midori [www-browser] 0.4.3+dfsg-0.1 ii surf [www-browser] 0.6-1 ii uzbl [www-browser] 0.0.0~git.20120514-1.1 ii w3m [www-browser] 0.5.3-17 Versions of packages apache2 is related to: ii apache2 2.4.10-2 ii apache2-bin 2.4.10-2 -- Configuration Files: /etc/apache2/mods-available/userdir.conf changed: <IfModule mod_userdir.c> UserDir public_html UserDir disabled root <Directory /home/*/public_html> AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit Indexes Options=MultiViews Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec <Limit GET POST OPTIONS> Require all granted </Limit> <LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS> Require all denied </LimitExcept> </Directory> </IfModule> /etc/logrotate.d/apache2 changed: /var/log/apache2/*.log { weekly missingok rotate 52 compress delaycompress notifempty create 640 root adm sharedscripts postrotate if /etc/init.d/apache2 status > /dev/null ; then \ /etc/init.d/apache2 reload > /dev/null; \ fi; endscript prerotate if [ -d /etc/logrotate.d/httpd-prerotate ]; then \ run-parts /etc/logrotate.d/httpd-prerotate; \ fi; \ endscript } -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
