Excellent idea. This will cut down on a lot of verbosity in the
newsyslog.conf file. However, perhaps the accompanying patch is
a better implementation. It allows both relative and absolute path
names to be listed, ...
I think your goal is very different from what Brooks wants to do.
He is not trying to cut down any verbosity in the /etc/newsyslog.conf
file, he is trying to make it possible to easily redirect the file.
If I understand what you want to do, I would prefer to implement it
in a different manner.
Also, while I'm here, is there any plan to port this to RELENG_5?
I will MFC it if Brooks doesn't, but I do not think it needs to be
done right now. I would prefer to wait until after 5.3-RELEASE is
official.
