for *many years* /var/log/yum.log was rotated once pear year and "yearly" stil limplies that - where THE FUCK are my logs before May 26 10:32:25 to write repots fpr customers what happened in the past months? [root@buildserver:~]$ cat /etc/logrotate.d/yum /var/log/yum.log { missingok notifempty maxsize 30k yearly create 0600 root root }
You are asking on wrong place. From "man logrotate": > maxsize size > Log files are rotated when they grow bigger than size bytes even before > the additionally specified time interval (daily, weekly, monthly, or > yearly). The related size option is similar except that it is mutually > exclusive with the time interval options, and it causes log files to be > rotated without regard for the last rotation time. When maxsize is used, > both the size and timestamp of a log file are considered. I presume log just was bigger than 30k, so it got rotated earlier. I'm changing the component to "yum", because this seems to be request to change the default configuration of /etc/logrotated./yum file which is owned by "yum" component.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 21 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 21. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '21'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 21 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 21 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-12-01. Fedora 21 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug.
