Hello Guix!

We discussed recently that we should add a ‘rottlog-service-type’
instance to ‘%base-services’.  It’s a trivial change that makes a lot of
sense to me.

It’s all fine but the problem is that it leads to a build failure of
etc.drv for those who were already adding ‘rottlog-service-type’ to
their services (because we end up with two instances of that service
type, both of which try to add /etc/rottlog.)

Perhaps that’s fine, and we can provide a news entry to let people now?

Incidentally, I think we should probably stop using GNU rottlog and
implement our own stuff: it wouldn’t be much work and would be much more
flexible (and we wouldn’t need that /etc/rottlog entry!).

Thoughts?
