Log files can grow very large [1], up to the point where they fill up / or /var with potentially disastrous results.
The MythTV packages use logrotate to rotate log files. While logrotate can rotate files based on their size, it is only run daily.
I suggest that mythtv-common should depend on a more sane log rotation utility. I'll try to find some alternatives. |

I haven't been able to find a nice log rotation tool. Any hints? :) |

According to the logrotate manpage we can use a size restriction and it looks like we can use both a size and daily rotate. I've added this fix to the mythtv-fixes branch.

The only sane thing I can think to do is to offer to put the /var/log directory on its own filesystem so that it doesn't take down the whole system if it overflows. Moving to wishlist. If anyone can think of something better, feel free to propose something - this obviously wouldn't help people that install Mythbuntu over a standard Ubuntu install. |
