[gentoo-dev] New global USE flag: logrotate

Hi,

I'd like to propose a new global USE flag named 'logrotate' to add
support for app-admin/logrotate (by installing logrotate config files
to /etc/logrotate.d/).

There are currently one local USE flag named logrotate in
net-proxy/squid, which of course isn't enough to justify having a global
USE flag - but it seems other packages, at least app-admin/syslog-ng,
currently unconditionally install a config file to /etc/logrotate.d/.

There are 4 open enhancement requests in Gentoo bugzilla about ebuilds
which could install such a config file, and I am sure many other ebuilds
could as well (anything that logs to a file).

If there are no objections to this I will make 'logrotate' a global USE
flag once I add a logrotate config file to sys-power/acpid.

Sincerely,
Brix
