Description of problem: The distributed logrotate files (mgetty, mgetty-voice) rpms, contain weird patterns patterns that attempt to exclude certain files for no apparent reason. But there is a better way anyhow. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mgetty-1.1.33-11 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. read /etc/logrotate.d/mgetty (and vgetty) Actual results: Contains patterns such as /var/log/mgetty.log.tty[^.][^.][^.][^.][^.][^.][^.] and worse Expected results: See following Additional info: The exclusion of log files with a dot in suffix is obviously an attempt to exclude already rotated log files (in non-dateext schemes). But there is a better way anyhow: tabooext + mgetty.log.tty*[-.]* /var/log/mgetty.log.tty* { ... }
Fixed in mgetty-1.1.36-1.fc10
