It would be nice if the logs that emerge creates were compressed with gzip of even better with bzip2. Another nice feature would be to automatically erase the old ones. Are these features already implemented? The reason I'm asking for these because recently I did a du --max-depth=1 -k /var/log/ and I got:
4 /var/log/news 4 /var/log/emerge 316 /var/log/cups 4 /var/log/mysql 272936 /var/log/portage 152 /var/log/samba 281300 /var/log 270Megs of log files is kinda too much isn't it? ;-) There were logs of emerges done in May in there! For now I'am erasing these manually myself but I'd like to find a way to automate it. Thanks!
