Hi,
I'm looking at a slew of prometheus- packages that
have all the same very formulaic postrm script
and logrote config.
Could dh_installlogrotate be made smarter and
peek inside the snippets and from those generate matching
postrm/purge scripts to rotate the files in the void on purge ?
Greetings

Hi Alexandre,
Thanks for the suggestion.
The literal suggestion is unfortunately not a good match to debhelper,
as it would require too complex logic compared to what debhelper (by its
core design choice) is willing to commit to a given helper.
Additionally, it would only cover 1 of the 3 statements in the shown
postrm file, so it is not going to remove the need for a manual postrm
anyhow.

-
#!/bin/sh
# postrm script for prometheus
# Script executed after the package is removed.
set -e
case "$1" in
purge)
rm -rf /var/log/prometheus/prometheus-alertmanager.log* \
/run/prometheus/prometheus-alertmanager.pid \
/var/lib/prometheus/alertmanager/
# We do NOT remove the system user.

Looking at this some more, I feel it is more or less 1:1 with
`debputy`'s `clean-after-removal` feature. That might be easier to do
for `debhelper` to add a `dh_cleanafterremoval` helper that reads
patterns from a file.
Best regards,
Niels
