OK, I'll give it a try.

Please feel free to add it and submit a patch.
I thought about adding it a while back, but came to a few challenges..
1. With the different ways that a file can be rolled, there are more
permutations than I originally thought
2. Most organizations already have a way to deal with rotation of log
files.
3. To anyone worth their salt, log files are a religious item. Mess
them up and be hated forever.
And given we have #2 at my organization, my interest waned..
If you are to write one, please make sure it's in the spirit of the
existing MaxSizeRollBackups, and takes into account rollovers by both
day and file size being exceeded/rolled.
Cheers,

why not use any type of standard log file cleaner external to
your log4net application..
Or write a routine at startup that checks for files older than
xxx days in a specific (log) directory and deletes them.

I need to have date based rolling for log files and want to
keep only the 30 log files (corresponding to the last 30
days). Is that possible (with aMaxSizeRollBackups or some
other wy)? If yes, please send me the corresponding xml
configuration for the appender. Based on the
RollingFileAppender documentation, it says
"*CAUTION*
A maximum number of backup files when rolling on date/time
boundaries is not supported."
Is that still true? If yes, what are the other ways of
achieving this?
Thanks in advance.
