How to build and install logrotate on HP-UX 11.00 (these instructions should
also work on HP-UX 10.20):

1.  Obtain and install the following GNU packages for HP-UX:
        binutils 2.9.1
        gcc 2.95.2
        make 3.78.1
    I used the packages at the Software Porting and Archive Centre for HP-UX
    at http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/.

    Obtain and install the following GNU/Linux to HP-UX Porting package:
	libhplx library
    See http://devresource.hp.com/LPK/index.html for downloads.
    This library is needed to provide the ??? function.

2.  Obtain, build, and install popt 1.4 (there doesn't seem to be a build at
    the Porting Centre.)
    See ftp://ftp.rpm.org/pub/rpm/dist/rpm-4.0.x/popt-1.6.4.tar.gz
    Install it into the directory of your choice (i.e.
    "./configure --prefix=/opt/popt").

3.  Build logrotate, telling it where to find popt and hplx installation. The
    POPT_DIR defaults to /usr/local and HPLX_DIR defaults to /usr/local/hplx:
        gmake POPT_DIR=/usr/local HPLX_DIR=/usr/local/hplx

4.  Install logrotate into your desired directory (BASEDIR defaults to
    /usr/local):
        gmake install BASEDIR=/usr/local

5.  Copy the configuration files into your desired location.
        cp examples/logrotate-default /etc/logrotate.conf
	mkdir /etc/logrotate.d

6.  Set up a cron job to run logrotate daily. See examples/logrotate.cron.

7.  I also recommend setting CLEAN_ADM=0 in /etc/rc.config.d/clean, and
    setting up an init script to use logrotate for this instead.  This way,
    logrotate manages all logfile pruning.

Steps to build and install logrotate on Solaris 2.6

1.  Obtain and install the following GNU packages from http://Sunfreeware.com:
        gcc 2.95.2
        make 3.80
	popt-1.6.3

2.  Build and install logrotate:
	gmake
	gmake install

OBS.: If you want to use the test script on Solaris 2.6, you'll need to have
      bash installed, adjust the path after the sha-bang (#!) properly and
      substitute the sintax $(...) for backticks `...` in all
      "test-config.?.in" files.

# logrotate

The logrotate utility is designed to simplify the administration of log files on a system which generates a lot of log files. Logrotate allows for the automatic rotation compression, removal and mailing of log files. Logrotate can be set to handle a log file daily, weekly, monthly or when the log file gets to a certain size.

## Git checkout

You can also obtain code by using git checkout:
```
git clone https://github.com/logrotate/logrotate.git -b master
```

Replace `master` with branch or tag you intend to checkout

## Verify and unpack

After downloading the tarball and .asc signature file, check the signature:

Get Kamil's PGP key rsa4096/72A37B36
(almost any keyserver will do if pgp.mit.edu is temporarily unavailable):

    $ gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-key 992A96E075056E79CD8214F9873DB37572A37B36

and verify the PGP signature on the distribution tarball:


    $ gpg --verify logrotate-3.11.0.tar.xz.asc logrotate-3.11.0.tar.xz


If successful your GPG output should look like this:

    gpg: Signature made Fri 02 Dec 2016 08:30:39 AM EST
    gpg:                using RSA key 873DB37572A37B36
    gpg: Good signature from "Kamil Dudka <kdudka@redhat.com>" [unknown]
    gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
    gpg:          There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
    Primary key fingerprint: 992A 96E0 7505 6E79 CD82  14F9 873D B375 72A3 7B36

You may then unpack the tarball:

    $ tar -xJf logrotate-3.11.0.tar.xz

Notice that git tags are signed with same key:

    $ git tag --verify 3.11.0
