Bug Description

It appears that, as a result of https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250776 mythtv-frontend (perhaps others. The frontend is all I use) installed a logrotate configuration with both size and daily. logrotate can only make use of one of these, and as a result picks the size. So if my log doesn't grow to 10M then it doesn't get rotated. I don't think this was the intent. daily log rotation is preferred. Adding a size element to a daily rotation is pointless unless logrotate is run more frequently than daily. Please remove the size statement from the logrotate configs in the mythtv daily builds so logs can be rotated daily.

You are exactly correct as to why the size limitation was added (bug 250776). So this was just a band-aid to that bug.

Since Bug #250776 is not really resolved, I'm going to mark this as a dup of that one.
