README.md

logrotate

The logrotate utility is designed to simplify the administration of log files on a system which generates a lot of log files. Logrotate allows for the automatic rotation compression, removal and mailing of log files. Logrotate can be set to handle a log file hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, when time in minutes has elapsed or when the log file gets to a certain size.

Download

The latest release is:

Previous releases:

Git checkout

You can also obtain code by using git checkout:

git clone https://github.com/logrotate/logrotate.git -b main

Replace main with branch or tag you intend to checkout

Verify and unpack

After downloading the tarball and .asc signature file, check the signature:

Get Christian's PGP key rsa4096/C78CE737A3C3E28E (almost any keyserver will do if pgp.mit.edu is temporarily unavailable):

$ gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-key 8ECCDF12100AD84DA2EE7EBFC78CE737A3C3E28E

Older releases are signed with Kamil's PGP key rsa4096/72A37B36

$ gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-key 992A96E075056E79CD8214F9873DB37572A37B36

and verify the PGP signature on the distribution tarball:

$ gpg --verify logrotate-3.22.0.tar.xz.asc logrotate-3.22.0.tar.xz

If successful your GPG output should look like this:

gpg: Signature made Sat 01 Jun 2024 05:41:38 PM CEST
gpg:                using RSA key 8ECCDF12100AD84DA2EE7EBFC78CE737A3C3E28E
gpg: Good signature from "Christian Göttsche <cgzones@googlemail.com>" [unknown]
gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
gpg:          There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
Primary key fingerprint: 8ECC DF12 100A D84D A2EE  7EBF C78C E737 A3C3 E28E

You may then unpack the tarball:

$ tar -xJf logrotate-3.22.0.tar.xz

Notice that git tags are signed with same key:

$ git tag --verify 3.22.0

Compiling

Install dependencies for Debian systems:

apt-get update
apt-get install autoconf automake libpopt-dev libtool make xz-utils

Install dependencies for Fedora/CentOS systems:

yum install autoconf automake libtool make popt-devel xz

Compilation (autoreconf is optional if you obtained source from tarball):
