That's probably a question for the merkaartor folks.

Short of that, that sounds like a job for logrotate. Or if you just
want to get rid of or move them, a cron job. Or both: a cron job to
move them, and a logrotate job to manage them.

Create an apparmor profile for it, deny it creating the offending file.
Update a profile as needed. Problem solved.

Sample merkaartor profile attached, took me a minute to make it.

Reco
#include 

/usr/bin/merkaartor {
  #include 
  #include 
  #include 
  #include 
  #include 

  deny owner /home/*/merkaartor.log w,

  /proc/sys/kernel/random/boot_id r,
  owner /home/*/.Xauthority r,
  owner /home/*/.cache/fontconfig/* r,
  owner /home/*/.config/** rwl,
  owner /home/*/.config/Merkaartor/* rwk,
  owner /home/*/.config/Merkaartor/Merkaartor.conf rw,
  owner /home/*/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf r,

merkaartor: annoying merkaartor.log in HOME

2019-09-11 Thread Jerome BENOIT 
Hello List,

each time I read an OSM data file with merkaartor,
a (very) annoying merkaartor.log is let in my HOME directory.
How can we get rid of it ? or get it elsewhere ?

Thanks in advance,
Jerome
