           Summary: logfiles not owned by any package
           Product: openSUSE 10.3
           Version: Alpha 4plus
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Other
        AssignedTo: mt@xxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: lrupp@xxxxxxxxxx
         QAContact: qa@xxxxxxx


The logfiles
/var/log/news/news.crit
/var/log/news/news.err
/var/log/news/news.notice
/var/log/mail.info
/var/log/mail.warn
/var/log/mail.err
/var/log/localmessages
/var/log/messages
/var/log/firewall
/var/log/warn
are currently not owned by any package.

They should be owned by packages/scripts who produce them or be "summarized" in
syslog or syslog-ng packages.

For the above ones I see only the "firewall" logfile which can perhaps be owned
by the SuSEfirewall2 package. So I assign it to the syslog-ng maintainer - feel
free to add other maintainers if they should keep track on "their" logfiles.

Using something like
%ghost %config(noreplace) /var/log/*
in the %files list should aviod verify-errors from RPM or security scanners.
