pfSense » pfSense Packages

Here's what I ended up with after further investigation.

• this package expects logrotate to be installed, but it is not installed

• a workaround is to 'pkg install logrotate'

• alternatively this package could try to use newsyslog, which is installed in freebsd, but not with pfsense

My suggestion is to make sysutils/logrotate a dependency for this PBI so log rotation works without any hacking.

But, logrotate doesn't exist on the system.

logrotate actually does exist. Just elsewhere.

I have v1.0.6 of the packageinstalled and /usr/pbi/syslog-ng-amd64/sbin/logrotate doesn't exist for me. Will this be added for version 1.0.7 or is something messed up with my system?

Thanks for addressing this!

It's /usr/pbi/syslog-ng-amd64/local/sbin/logrotate

My mistake, exists for me. Ok, looks like this bug will be squashed as soon as v1.0.7 is out!
