I was wondering why my /etc is 11 GiB in size.

Turns out /etc/.git (from etckeeper) is 10 GiB,
because it covers /service/*/log/main/* from dæmontools.

This is… unfortunate.

Hi Thorsten, I'd love to move to /service, from the very beginning
actually, but FHS and so Debian Policy does not allow.

daemontools works fine with symlinks, so you could setup log directories
in /var/log/ and link them into service directories, e.g.

 /etc/service/foo/log/main -> /var/log/foo/

Regards, Gerrit.

Debian Bug Tracking System dixit:

Yes, this is *extremely* unsatisfactory, but…

… Googlemail addresses should be forbidden for Debian maintainers,
as communication with them is impossible.


Jan Mojzis dixit:

This bug is nowhere even NEAR obsolete.

Did you even READ the bugreport AT ALL, or did you just mass-close
all existing bugreports because you couldn’t be arsed to look at them?

Of COURSE this bug is still relevant and still exists!

Slightly appalled,
