Hello, I found your logrotate hints interresting but a bit outdated. I made some changes to refresh it. You can find a patch with this mail. If you are interrested by the patch and want to discuss about it, feel free to email me. But if you don't to maintain this hint anymore, I would be happy to take care of this.
Best regards Emmanuel Trillaud
