Bug#102672: RFP: liblog-agent-rotate-perl -- Log::Agent extension that adds file-rotating abilities

[Colin Watson <cjw44@flatline.org.uk>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

There's currently at least one package in the archive (newsclipper, see
bug #101322) which has an undeclared dependency on Log::Agent::Rotate.
The easiest way to fix that seems to be to package it. :) I'd quite like
to use it for one of my own projects, too. It depends on
libgetargs-long-perl, which is currently in incoming waiting for
ftpmaster approval.

I've cc'd this to the liblog-agent-perl maintainer - would you consider
packaging this up? If not, I could probably do it.

       (currently Log-Agent-Rotate-0.1.3.tar.gz)

Description:

  The Log::Agent::Rotate module is an extension of Log::Agent that brings
  file-rotating features to the File logging driver.

  It is separated from Log::Agent itself because it has dependencies
  on LockFile::Simple and Compress::Zlib that Log::Agent cannot have:
  everyone with a plain stock Perl distribution must be able to simply
  install Log::Agent and start using it.

  This is NOT a generic all-purpose logfile rotation package.  It is meant
  to be used only within the Log::Agent framework.

Thanks,
