newsyslog To-Do List

• Possibly include some additional flag / percent escape / command so that archive logs with a rotation of 0 can still be saved into the same location as the previous log in unusual circumstances.

• Support multiple configuration files, so that each package can have its own little configuration file similar to logrotate. Add support for reading a whole directory full of them, and possibly include directives in configuration files.

• Add a way to escape " in quoted strings.

• Add support for creating a .BROKEN file or some similar way of marking incomplete copies into an archive area (in case of, for example, AFS quota running out).

• Support Debian's logcheck program, which requires that at least the last log be kept in the same directory as the regular log, uncompressed. Adding support for an uncompressed copy of the log should probably do it, but the shuffling code will also need to handle uncompressed logs.

• Add rotation of logs without compressing them, which poses some similar issues to the above request.
