[Bug 1518955] Re: System image client log file grows indefinitely

[Barry Warsaw]

@pat-mcgowan - Sorry I couldn't get this into si 3.1.  I'm not sure what
the right approach is for touch, but I don't think system-image client
itself should be trimming the log files.  logrotate or some other system
facility should be doing it, IMO.  It's not clear to me what that would
be.  I'll try to do some research but if you (or anyone on your team)
has suggestions, please follow up here.  I think once we figure out
*how* to do it, it'll be easy to get a release out fairly quickly.

Title:
  System image client log file grows indefinitely

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Confirmed
Status in Ubuntu system image:
  Triaged
Status in system-image package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  From what I can tell the log file for system image at /var/log/system-
  image/client.log is continually appended to and is not rolled or
  truncated.

  My current log has entries from 8 months ago and is over 3MB.

  Another phone shows entries 5 months old and is over 1MB

  I assume those were since the last full data wipes and flash
