Summary0017941: Stop rotating the boot.log if empty
DescriptionSometime in ClearOS7 a logrotate configlet, /etc/logrotate.d/bootlog, was introduced or changed so that it rotates weekly whatever happens. This means after about 9 rotations, if you have not rebooted, the boot log disappears and you are just left with 9 zero byte files. This is a useful diagnostic log and it would be better to keep at least the last log. If the key word "notifempty" were added to the configlet, then the logs would not rotate until there was something in /var/log/boot.log

In ClearOS6 the configlet does not even exist.

I've put this as a logrotate issue, but the configlet comes from "plymouth" for which there is not a category.
