Request: Low-prio: Purge log files

[sgronlun]

Old log files make no use. Why not purge files based on two rules?

• Older than 30 days
• More than 30 files

Did some tests about this. Results are: 1) the logback.xml is wrong. For the rolling stuff to work correctly, one needs the "file" tag on the file appender. 2) even if I add it, there is a strange behavior in logback that won't remove files older than "maxHistory(days)+32(magic number in the code)". So it will delete "old enough" files, but not "very old" files!

I am very tempted to raise an issue for logback!
