>Description:
At our site, having syslog.sample put into /usr/local/etc/logrotate.d means we have to add 'tabooext + .sample' to our conf file which sends error messages through cron emails about ignoring the aforementioned example file.
If syslog.sample were put into /usr/local/share/examples/logrotate then we wouldn't have to take special measures in our cluster installation procedure; obviously for one or two machines this irritation woule never arise.
>How-To-Repeat:
Include /usr/local/etc/logrotate.d in your logrotate.conf.
>Fix:
Submitting two patches for the Makefile and the pkg-plist.
Makefile:
34a35
> @${MKDIR} ${PREFIX}/share/examples/logrotate
37c38
< @${INSTALL_DATA} ${FILESDIR}/syslog.sample ${PREFIX}/etc/logrotate.d/
---
> @${INSTALL_DATA} ${FILESDIR}/syslog.sample ${PREFIX}/share/examples/logrotate/
pkg-plist:
3c3,4
< etc/logrotate.d/syslog.sample

> share/examples/logrotate/syslog.sample
