Cheers all,

I'm trying to do something with a patch in MariaDB, but I need to know current situation about rotation logs.

What's the problem:
Upstream ship rotation log, we drop it out.
This started sometimes between F15 and F16. Mostly because (for what I read) Fedora didn't like rotation logs, there were issues in them, they were often broken and so on.
What's more, nearly nobody used them in MariaDB and MySQL, so it was easier to drop it (comment it out) but lets those who wants to use them on their own risk.

Current situation:

Now I'm here, with a patch that comment's upstream's log rotation settings out.
I can tell upstream, rotation is broken in Fedora and they should not use it here, or I can find out, it works fine nowadays and I should start shipping it.

Questions:
1) How's the current situation, around rotation logs - do they work?

2) What about other packages - do you use rotation logs in them?
