What would be a good solution? I understand that some people may want to run this tools without control by systemd. But on the other side, in this cases the people have to adjust the configuration anyways.
Maybe a good solution could be: - continue to ship the logrotate configuration file - only Recommend logrotate, not require it - let the admin create the configuration file and directory
Thorsten
Maybe like this:
Package the logrotate stuff separately (e.g. as $X-logrotate) and use
Requires: ($X and logrotate) Supplements: ($X and logrotate)
and
Recommends: ($X-logrotate unless systemd)
which means it will never be recommended. I'd go with
Recommends: ($X-logrotate unless systemd-logger)
instead.
Plus have $X-systemd and require either $X-logrotate or $X-systemd and ship the actual configuration in them so when $X-logrotate is installed we actually log to /var/log?
