Bug#761985: Master.csv rotation

[Gabriel Filion]

Hello there,

I personally don't see a difference between a text file with lines that
track web site visits and a text file with lines that track calls being
made and received.

The Master.csv file is enabled by default and never rotated. This means
that ppl who don't know too much about how asterisk works and how it is
configured by default will end up with a humongous log file of all calls
ever made.

No rotation of logs is a really bad policy and can actually mean trouble
for some ppl who didn't want to keep that info on disk in the first place.

I'd advocate for disabling Master.csv by default and requiring ppl to
knowingly enable it. The debian package could even have a notice to
remember ppl to rotate that file at some point if they decide to enable
call logging.

Otherwise if maintainers feel that disabling this would be too much of a
big change, then the package would definitely need log rotation keeping
only a reasonably small period of log data, like 14 days.

Regards
