Dominik Psenner commented on LOG4NET-27:
----------------------------------------
If a persistent storage of the file history is not needed, why keep it anyway?
I think that the implementation of the rolling could always use a persistent
history somewhere (registry|file|..?) allowing the implementation of fancier
rolling methods that even combine date, size and arbitrary (random) filenames.
Currently the rolling is quite limited from that point of view. Since a rewrite
of the rollingfileappender is in discussion since long time those ideas could
well make it into there. The discussion took place at
http://apache-logging.6191.n7.nabble.com/RFA-NG-review-td24505.html and some
helping hands / comments / reviews are still welcome. Somehow I (and probably
also Stefan) lost track on the RFA-NG topic since I didn't need it anymore and
have not enough spare time even if it would resolve a lot of log4net issues.
