logrotate: wtmp and btmp configurations missing due to upstream changes (spec file mismatch) #1635
Description
Describe the bug
The logrotate package in Photon OS is missing the configurations for both /etc/logrotate.d/wtmp and /etc/logrotate.d/btmp.
Historically, these configurations were included in the main logrotate.conf, but upstream logrotate moved them to separate files.
logrotate/logrotate@75da4ec
As a result, neither wtmp nor btmp are currently being rotated, which may cause these log files to grow indefinitely.
Reproduction steps
- Install logrotate:
tdnf install logrotate - Check for config files:
ls /etc/logrotate.d/wtmp(File not found)
ls /etc/logrotate.d/btmp(File not found) - Check main config:
grep -E "wtmp|btmp" /etc/logrotate.conf(Entries not found)
Expected behavior
The package should install examples/wtmp and examples/btmp into /etc/logrotate.d/wtmp and /etc/logrotate.d/btmp, respectively.
Additional context
The upstream logrotate project removed the wtmp and btmp sections from the default config and moved them to examples/wtmp and examples/btmp in this commit:
logrotate/logrotate@75da4ec
However, the current Photon OS spec file does not reflect this change and misses the new example files.
Could you please consider adding the following lines to the %install section of logrotate.spec?
install -p -m 644 examples/btmp %{buildroot}%{_sysconfdir}/logrotate.d/btmp
install -p -m 644 examples/wtmp %{buildroot}%{_sysconfdir}/logrotate.d/wtmp
