Be warned that @filbo's method sort of requires §compressext xz§ cuz otherwise the XZ-compressed files end in gz but still are xz files. Or at least on 12.04 it does.
As an semi-offtopic, I added §nomail§ to not get that uselessness into mail files on the computer, and §notifempty§ is also worth the trouble. The latter is already added to most logrotate configs, and you can find each file which doesn't have, with §grep -L 'notifempty' /etc/logrotate.d/*§. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/662312 Title: Cannot handle spaces in compressoptions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/logrotate/+bug/662312/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
