Re: 9 Debian patches for inclusion

Interesting...

I guess this is the bug report

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=536472

The issue seems to be that logrotate gzips the file before logwatch gets to it? Under RH/Fedora  et al the cron is always labled 0logwatch is it fires first. When I set crons by hand I make sure it runs before any rotation so the question is what to do with an issue that is really mis-configuration.??

I'll look over those lines some more. I know there's been a big push for binary logs the last few years god knows how badly that will break things :)
