I assume you are thinking this will keep your logs around forever. Probably you are processing them with another tool. Instead of getting rid of logrotate I would work with it. I would modify the /etc configs to do what you want. Those changes to /etc configs will be preserved on future upgrades. > I make use of sid on one station and sarge on another one. logrotate > is marked as a dependency of several packages.

You can always hack /usr/sbin/logrotate so that it is a noop. echo logrotate hold | dpkg --set-selections ln -sf -b -S .original /bin/true /usr/sbin/logrotate Bob
