[RFC] [Wok] Issue #139: Do not generate logrotate config file on the fly

Propose: Do not regenerate logrotate conf at startup of wok. Questions: 1) The wok conf will be generated at make ? And then copied at make rpm? 2) The [logging] configuration at wok.conf will be removed? letting to the user to change parameters? 3) This is the template for logrotate file LOGROTATE_TEMPLATE = """ ${log_dir}/*log { daily nomail maxsize ${log_size} rotate 10 nomissingok compress } """ which vales for log_dir and log_size we will use? -- Ramon Nunes Medeiros Kimchi Developer Linux Technology Center Brazil IBM Systems & Technology Group Phone : +55 19 2132 7878 ramonn@br.ibm.com

There is no need to generate the file on the fly. We can add a wok.logrotate file to source tree and add it to rpm/deb when building the package.
2) The [logging] configuration at wok.conf will be removed? letting to the user to change parameters?
You should only remove log_size from [logging] The other 2 parameter (log_dir and log_level) will still be used by Wok. It would be good to add a comment there informing user about the logrotate file. So when user updates [logging] section he/she will need to update the logrotate file as well (if they want to keep using of logrotate)
3) This is the template for logrotate file
LOGROTATE_TEMPLATE = """ ${log_dir}/*log { daily nomail maxsize ${log_size} rotate 10 nomissingok compress } """
which vales for log_dir and log_size we will use?
Per wok.conf.in file, the default values are # Log directory #log_dir = @localstatedir@/log/wok # Log file size (specify size in K, M or G) #log_size = 10M we can keep using them IMO.
