Bug#682955: tomcat6: patch to add log compression to logrotate cronjob

[Thijs Kinkhorst]

Package: tomcat6
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi,

Please find attached a patch against current git that adds logfile compression 
to the existing tomcat6 cron.daily script. We've found compression highly 
effective on these kinds of logs, reducing the daily logs from 200 GB to 2 GB, 
a 99% saving.

I've enabled it by default, because of the signifcant savings but also because 
other logs on Debian systems are compressed by default (syslog, Apache to name 
a few).


Cheers,
Thijs
