Subject: Disable YAZ' own log rotate by default (no 1 GB limit).
X-Git-Tag: v3.0.45~27
X-Git-Url: http://git.indexdata.com/?p=yaz-moved-to-github.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=30be9a32fd26a2d08aa4413942408500c93ad4a3

Disable YAZ' own log rotate by default (no 1 GB limit).

The variable l_max_size which specifies the log file limit is set to 0
(DISABLED): This is due to the fact that YAZ is most often deployed using
logrotate. Also YAZ can not perform log rotate because of unsufficient
permissions (setuid).
