Description

Hello,

I have syslog-ng 1.1.2_1 installed and configured to rotate my logs, but it obviously doesn't.
Checking for logrotate gives:

find / -iname "*logrotate*" 
/usr/local/etc/logrotate.conf

So I guess logrotate isn't installed anymore with the package.
This bug might be related to #4612, but as the packaging format changed for 2.3, maybe the dependancy is missing.

For now I have enabled the freeBSD repo and installed logrotate via pkg; but then I don't know if I have to add some file to /usr/local/etc/periodic or elsewnere.

Using pfSense 2.3-Beta built on Tue Mar 29 01:50:40 CDT 2016.

Looks like the dependency on sysutils/logrotate was listed in ports_before on the old 2.2.x package but that didn't get carried over into sysutils/pfSense-pkg-syslog-ng/Makefile so it isn't being built or included. Should be an easy fix.

Well, this still does not work properly at least with bzip2, because:

error: /usr/local/etc/logrotate.conf:7 compression program bzip2 is not an executable file
error: found error in /var/syslog-ng/default.log , skipping
