I am torn what to do about log rotation on a server I am trying to convert to Guix right now. log-rotation-service-type is too inflexible, and rottlog-service-type will be removed soon.

I guess I will just copy rottlog-service-type to my own channel, so that it survives the upstream removal. It will be bit annoying to diverge from Guix proper in this aspect, but do not really see other options here.

Have you ever seen a #LogRotate library that doesn't *perform* the actions itself, but just tells you what it *would* do, given some hypothetical input set of files?

I'm trying to do log rotation (well, #backup rotation) over #SFTP, and whilst I can script some dumb rotation scheme, it'd be lovely to lean on some properly tested code instead! #logs #logging #logrotation #backups
