Subject: savelog: make -d default behaviour

Date: Sat, 12 Nov 2011 00:14:57 +0100

Package: debianutils
Version: 3.4
Severity: wishlist

Please make -d "date extension" the default behaviour of savelog.

Motivation:

We are using an rsync based incremental backup (like rsnapshot).
When files stay the same only hardlinks are created on the backup volume.
Rotated logfiles with daily or weekly changing names need more space.

This would break existing scripts.
