Package: apache-common
Version: 1.3.33-2.1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainers,
In our apache setup, we log to a program. This program transports messages to a logserver, which than processes the
logentries. This is working fine.
While upgrading apache, the postinst scripts prompt me with a message that apache has switched to logrotate and logfiles
should be situated in /var/log and nowhere else. While this could potentially be a very useful message, all my logfiles are
in /var/log/, except for my pipe ofcourse. While investigating the situation, I wrote up this quick patch to make
postinst.common not croak when encountering pipes. This should confuse fewer users.
Please apply.
Regards,
Allard
