[bug#74860] [PATCH v2 00/12] Using the Shepherd's log rotation service

["Ludovic Courtès" <ludo@gnu.org>]

Hello!

Here’s v2 of this patch series.  Notable changes:

  • Use ‘define-configuration’, as suggested by Maxim.

  • Default to zstd compression, as suggested by Maxim.
    Consequently, I added a commit to have zstd in ‘%base-packages’.

  • Add /var/log/messages & co. to the default value of
    ‘external-files’: without this, those files, produced
    by syslogd, would not be rotated.  (This will be unnecessary
    once we switch to the Shepherd’s syslogd.)

  • Updated ‘log-rotation-service-type’ news entry and
    translation as proposed by Florian.

  • Added a news entry for ‘%base-home-services’, as proposed by
    Florian.

I discovered that zstd log compression would leave uncompressed
files behind.  Fixed:

  https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/shepherd.git/commit/?id=2b6aa913685b2ec77f90c504c063edeb12018dd9

I plan to release Shepherd 1.0.1 in a couple of days.

Thoughts?
