However, could you clarify what features exactly you’d like to see? (We had a brief discussion on Mastodon a while back but I’m not sure what the takeaway was.) Namely, ‘log-rotation’ is more opinionated and simpler than rottlog in several ways: there’s only a global configuration (rather than per-file), only one file (re)naming scheme, and probably a couple more. I think we could add more flexibility to ‘log-rotation’ if there’s demand, but I don’t think the level of flexibility that rottlog claims to provide is necessarily a good idea. Ludo’.
