Package: logrotate
Version: 3.18.0-2+deb11u1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
"hourly" rotation was added to logrotate in 2019(?).
However, the Debian systemd Timer runs "daily" so "hourly" logrotate jobs
are still only run daily.
Updating /etc/systemd/system/timers.target.wants/logrotate.timer:
...
[Timer]
OnCalendar=hourly
...
should allow "logrotate hourly" to work as expected.
See https://github.com/logrotate/logrotate/issues/249#issuecomment-485829363
"The tricky part is that one needs to change the default cron hook
(or systemd timer) to make hourly actually work as expected."
Thanks!
