[Bug 1981571] [NEW] no log rotation for conntrackd.log

[Junien Fridrick]

Public bug reported:

Hi,

If someone enables logging in conntrackd.conf ("LogFile on" in the
"General" section, the default is off), the logs are written by default
to /var/log/conntrackd.log. The package doesn't ship with a logrotate
stanza for that file though, so this log file can grow without bound.

The package does ship a logrotate stanza for /var/log/conntrackd-
stats.log, which is the default logfile for stats is stats logs are
enabled ("LogFile on" in the "Stats" section, the dfault is off).

Could we please get a logrotate stanza for /var/log/conntrackd.log ?

See also related bug 1960570 about the "postrotate" section of the
current logrotate stanza.

Thanks !
