I like it. > What i fear could be a bit ugly is transition of existing systems from the current setup (logrotate.d/files) to the eselect setup (logrotate.d/symlinks -> logrotate.d.dist/files). I don't really see how to automate that since it would require being able to make distinction beetween packages' files and users' files (to move the first ones but not the second ones), and i don't really like the idea to do that kind of nasty tricks in some pkg_*inst function or alike. That, and also the fast transition on ebuilds side would somehow need to happen all at the same time so that no ebuild continue to put real files in logrotate.d once a system is on an select setup. It would be interesting to know how that happened for in the past for /etc/bash_completion.d, which made a similar move iirc (although real files went to /usr/share/something, whereas here i would rather see them in etc because they are more likely to be customized). -- TGL -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
