Is there any chance at all that someone over at HP will decide to build and package new versions of Logrotate?
Version 2.5 is ANCIENT (more than 7 yrs old)!!! Tons of improvements since then.
So, if it's so important as a system administration tool and always referenced by ITRC people for log handling, maybe it should be upgraded and provided by HP in some fashion.
Perhaps someone could post it to the porting site for the various HP platforms?
Or is it some licensing issue with Debian that is preventing this?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Logrotate 2.5 on HPUX is practically a dinosaur
This is an open source product. Anybody that wants can take the current Linux source code and attempt a HP-UX compile.
I think it would make sense if HP took it and integrated it into the Internet Express package, but my sources say nothing on the topic.

Re: Logrotate 2.5 on HPUX is practically a dinosaur
If enough people ask, they'll probably do it. I've seen HP go to great lengths to make me happy. Trust me, making me happy is not an easy thing to do.

I too ask myself why certain things do not get ported. I am still waiting for an updated cups depot. I did purchase the software from esp, but I would have thought that it would have been made available from HP by now.

linuxbox# rpm2cpio logrotate-3.7.4.src.rpm | cpio -idv

Re: Logrotate 2.5 on HPUX is practically a dinosaur
Yes. I tried with the README.HPUX instructions. It makes nice core dumps. I currently don't have time to investigate the dependancy issue with popt package.

Re: Logrotate 2.5 on HPUX is practically a dinosaur
To complete compile you will need to compile the source for any dependencies, otherwise all you will get will be core dumps.

Re: Logrotate 2.5 on HPUX is practically a dinosaur
ya. great.
Now, what if I have a few dozen 11i, 11.23 and itanium systems. Do I get to build a separate logrotate, and popt on each host?
Do I get to install the latest gnu build environment and linux compatibility libraries on all the systems too?
The solution is looking more like a howto build your own package from source code...

Re: Logrotate 2.5 on HPUX is practically a dinosaur
Last year I built a current version of logrotate on HP-UX. I vaguely remember that I ignored most of the HP-specific steps in the documentation because they were out of date. I think libpopt was the only dependency I compiled.
