Description of problem:
I have a logrotate feature request :

oldsize size

Old log files are removed (oldest first) when they together grow bigger
then size bytes until they are less than size bytes. If size is followed
by M, the size  if assumed  to be in megabytes. If the k is used, the
size is in kilobytes. So size 100, size  100k, and size 100M are all
valid. This way you won't fill up your disk with old log files.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:

I tried adding this feature, but it was taking too long and wasn't worth the
time. I'd be happy to take a patch though.

current Fedora Core release or Red Hat Enterprise Linux or comparable.
