-----------------------------------------
Hi Ferenc,
thanks for sharing your thoughts and ideas. I'd say this is a feature that
could live in the reimplementation of the rolling file appender. It is an open
issue for quite a while now but probably the best approach. The feature branch
for this is
https://github.com/apache/logging-log4net/tree/feature/RollingFileAppender-NG
but unfortunately I don't have the spare time to work on this. Would you like
to pick up that work and continue? I would gladly assist with code reviews and
help on design decisions.
Cheers

> Hi Guys,
> I used _log4j_ in the past, and its {{RollingFileAppender}} has the
> possibility to compress the rolled file. It would be a nice feature in
> _log4net_ too, because it is much easier to handle the rolled files in
> compressed format. After a lot of searching I did not find a built-in
> solution in _log4net_ for compression, I decided to implement it. I wanted to
> do it using the {{RollFile}} method, but I was not able to do it, because the
> {{RollFile}} method is not _virtual_ this time. So the solution was for me: I
> copied the {{RollingFileAppender}} into a custom namespace, made its
> {{RollFile}} _virtual_, and wrote a subclass which had a customized
> {{RollFile}} method. At least a _virtual_ {{RollFile}} method would be useful
> too.
> Thanks:
> Ferenc
