Bug#1065440: tomcat10: /etc/cron.daily/tomcat10 breaks tomcat's own deletion of old access logs

[Jorge Moraleda]

Package: tomcat10
Version: 10.1.6-1+deb12u1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: jorge.moraleda at gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

The tomcat10 package installs file '/etc/cron.daily/tomcat10' that encrypts
"old" logs in the '/var/log/tomcat10' directory. The problem is that this cron
jobs breaks the new mechanism that tomcat10 uses for deleting its own old log
files. In particular adding the option 'maxDays="2" in section  <Valve
className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" directory="logs"
 ... in file /var/lib/tomcat10/conf/server.xml does not work.

I respectfully suggest that the new mechanisms that tomcat10 includes for
managing its own logs mean that we should remove "/etc/cron.daily/tomcat10"
from the package.

Thank you.
