If I am reading the logrotate 3.8.7 source code correctly, there is no mapping table between compresscmd and compressext, and a search for "xz", "bz" and "lzma" returns no result either.
Indeed, the only compression program that logrotate 3.8.7 knows about is gzip, and if compressext isn't defined in the config files, the default COMPRESS_EXT ".gz" is used instead. There is currently no "smart logic" to set the correct compressext automatically from compresscmd. Perhaps this bug is best reported at logrotate's new home on GitHub at https://github.com/logrotate/logrotate. AFAICT, the bug still exists in the latest logrotate 3.9.2. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1472834 Title: logrotate does not use .xz extension for xz-compressed logs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/logrotate/+bug/1472834/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
