Message175365
I've updated the type to enhancement (it seems like a grey area to me - it's a behavioural fix for a niche use case).
I suggested a patch rather than simply subclassing RotatingFileHandler since:
- The subclass would just have a copy of RotatingFileHandler's doRollover method with a one-line change.
- The proposed fix is functionally equivalent to the current code for all currently working uses.
Thanks for the offer of having an extension linked from your blog. I don't think it's appropriate for this case (since it's just a slightly modified copy of the stdlib code - I'll probably just keep the patch along with a few other compatibility hacks we have) although I may have something for you in future (we do have a subclass that compresses old logs). |
