• Bug#266678: cvs-autoreleasedeb: logrotate.d is processing rotated logs,

    From Marcelo de Paula Bezerra@1:229/2 to All on Wed Aug 18 20:00:15 2004

    Package: cvs-autoreleasedeb
    Version: 0.6-1
    Severity: critical
    Justification: breaks the whole system

    the lograte file from cvs-autoreleasedeb is processing rotated logs,
    causing logrotate to eat 100% cpu and generating large numbers of files.

    like:
    run.log.2.gz.4.gz.1.gz.11.gz.1.gz
    run.log.1.gz.5.gz.2.gz.1.gz.3.gz.3.gz.2.gz run.log.2.gz.3.gz.4.gz.1.gz.2.gz.2.gz.1.gz.1.gz.1.gz run.log.1.gz.2.gz.2.gz.2.gz.1.gz.3.gz.6.gz.1.gz run.log.1.gz.8.gz.5.gz.2.gz.3.gz.1.gz run.log.2.gz.1.gz.3.gz.1.gz.2.gz.3.gz.5.gz.1.gz run.log.2.gz.2.gz.5.gz.7.gz.1.gz
    run.log.1.gz.1.gz.10.gz.3.gz.1.gz.4.gz
    run.log.10.gz.2.gz.2.gz.2.gz.2.gz.2.gz run.log.2.gz.1.gz.2.gz.2.gz.1.gz.1.gz.1.gz.8.g

    The fix is a simple

    -/var/log/cvs-autoreleasedeb/* {
    +/var/log/cvs-autoreleasedeb/*.log {

    in /etc/logrotate.d/cvs-autoreleasedeb
