Patch to sync /etc/logrotate.d/syslog none

Description Terje Røsten 2015-10-06 19:16:22 UTC 
Description of problem:

syslog-ng and rsyslog both wants to install the file:
  /etc/logrotate.d/syslog

To be able to have both excellent loggers installed at the same time
this file must be identical.

I have sent a request to rsyslog package:

 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1269244

to change their version of /etc/logrotate.d/syslog such that syslog-ng
also can use the file unmodified.

Attached is a patch to change /etc/logrotate.d/syslog in syslog-ng
to the same version, this way users of both packages will be happy.

Setup has been tested, install both rsyslog and syslog-ng is now possible, make
it very easy to switch between loggers as users may want. 
Logrotate works as before.

Please apply attached patch.

Ping?

Two months to apply a simple fix?

More fun added: this issue now crashes Fedora 23 installer:

The approach here seems sensible to me, the change is small.
Thoughts?
